Can I camp in your garden?

Due to the lack of nearby campsites and guesthouses, I’ve slept in what appeared to be a chicken coop in Nepal and have dangerously slept roadside in South Africa.  If only campinmygarden.com existed back then! www.campinmygarden.com is similar to airbnb.com, but instead of featuring couches, bedrooms and houses for rent, the site allows people to open their homes (or gardens rather) so travelers can pitch a tent in their backyard for a few bucks!

Check out this one listing that reads too good to be true!

Really, all I need is a pod hotel

In a city where space is a major commodity, renting shoebox sized spaces at a premium is a brilliant way to make a huge return on investment while offering budget-conscious travelers affordable, but clean and safe lodging alternatives.  While pod hotels are something I’ve been talking about for a while in Hong Kong (I’m sure I’m not the only one either), someone is finally taking steps towards building one. Now it’s just a matter of time before he finds investors to get his “galaxy” going.

Crowdsourcing for geeky travelers

Options are endless when you tap into public crowdsourcing and this new site is the perfect example. Nerdydaytrips.com features, well, day trip destinations across the world that entertain the world’s brainiest travelers.  From random museums to research centers, unmarked but historical locations or the spot where the first ATM was erected, not only does this site entertain us, but it may even serve a market need.

Brilliant.

Now we just need to populate the system with Nerdy Day Trips for Asia!
Let’s do it! www.nerdydaytrips.com
