Bristol, UK-based travel company The Adventurists is known for offering more distinctive experiences than two weeks on a Balearic beach. Founder Tom Morgan was responsible for the birth of the Mongol Rally, in which teams set off from London in the cheapest, oldest car they can find and have to find their way to Mongolia any way they can. You’ll find more of these kinds of outlandish exploits on The Adventurists’ website, one of which goes by the name of the Rickshaw Run.

How to Network While Traveling
Social seating is a type of social networking service for travelers. It gives users the option to choose their seatmates based on their personal preferences and social network profiles. It's a system that uses data from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social networks, to allow users to look at people with similar interests and then book a seat accordingly. Social seating is an opt-in system, so passengers will not have their information pulled unless they willingly agree to it.
Flight Compression Socks
Long flights can sometimes bring the risk of deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, especially on flights four hours or longer. DVT is the formation of blood clots in deep veins, and according to the National Institutes of Health, the risk of developing DVT on flights up to four hours is small, but increases as travel time increases. The NIH's tips include walking up and down the aisles of the plane, moving, flexing and stretching your legs to encourage blood flow, especially in your calves. Wearing loose and comfortable clothing, drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding alcohol can also help reduce your risk. Also, if you're at increased risk for DVT, your doctor may recommend wearing compression stockings while traveling.
