We booked our trip through China with Intrepid Travel who have a fantastic range of group and individual tours around the world.
Brett Voegele has a great travel web site, which is a must see for anyone interested in travelling.
A great online shop is Sorella, who specialise in fantastic goods from around the world.
We stayed in the most fantastic backpackers just outside Oamaru in South Island, New Zealand. Old Bones will spoil you for anywhere else and Simon is the perfect host.
