I created a toolkit for the modern traveler. Anything i missed?
Hey FT,
I'm in the process of creating a list of the best tools and resources for the modern traveler.
back story: I left for my first solo backpacking trip 4 years ago after being inspired by the community on reddit.com/r/travel. Ever since, I've traveled to 30+ countries, changed my life and wanted to give something back to the online travel space. People have been asking me about the "best" apps for booking flights, hotels and planning trips. This led me to create travelguru, a place where I can direct my friends and family when they need help planning a trip. My hope is others will find it useful as well. Let me know what you think!

Any feedback is appreciated!

Looks good , if I might: Tripit is not just business. I like jumping around (think 7 different accommodations in seven days, another trip was 9 places in 15 days etc) and it's pretty much impossible without Tripit.

Bookmarked it as well. Another travel blog worth including is GTFOFlights.com. Similar to SecretFlying but different deals, and it scores the deals based on a variety of factors (airline, # of stops, plane amenities, price, etc), so you can better understand its value. For full disclosure, it's a project I've worked on.

https://citymapper.com is a good tool to use for transport planning.
