The basic idea of travelcomments.com was to create a comments-based travel guide through Southern Africa. Based on the experiences of backpackers and individual travellers it should be an alternative to the "established" guide books.
Podcast Directory
The tra:mag podcast directory covers podcasts from and about Southern Africa, Africa and Tourism and Travelling. The directory is divided into the following categories Music/Radio, Stuff, Political/Cultural/Social, News, Travel/Tourism, Comedy and Videocasts
tra:mag news provides travellers with the lastest news about Southern Africa, Africa and the backpacking world, plus news links for South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Mozambique and Swaziland.
tra:mag news also provides travellers with weather forecasts (including a special one for surfers), a currency converter and info on the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

communication
The easiest way of calling home when travelling is using skype. Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a nominal fee using a debit-based user account system.
In July 2010 SKYPE (click on logo above, scroll down, offer on your left hand side!) is offering free or cheap calls to landline telephones in all countries participating in the World Cup soccer tournament. In all, 120 free minutes are available for calls to landline numbers in South Africa.
To qualify, one must first register with Skype on the internet and, among other things, provide your credit card details or work through PayPal (www.paypal.com).
