What Kind of Traveller are You?

There is this really cool blog site where they offer quizes and random mutterings called Blogthings. Anyways, I came accross one of their quizes that asked me what my Travel Personality is. Well after taking the quiz my results are:

Your Travel Personality Is: The Adventurer

For you, travel is how you learn about the world. And you like to learn the stuff that's not in guidebooks. You truly have wanderlust. When you're not traveling, you're dreaming about where you'll go next. And your travels are truly legendary - they leave you with stories you'll be telling for the rest of your life!

I found it a bit eerie cause the results are right on for this Travel Beggar. So what Kind of Traveller are you? Take the quiz and come back and leave a comment of what type of traveller you are.

World's Largest Pool!!!

If you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in to this one. It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. Yesterday the Guinness Book of Records named the vast pool beside the sea in Chile as the biggest in the world. But if you fancy splashing out on one of your own - and you have the space to accommodate it - then beware: This one took five years to build, cost nearly £1billion and the annual maintenance bill will be £2million. The man-made saltwater lagoon has been attracting huge crowds to the San Alfonso del Mar resort at Algarrobo, on Chile 's southern coast, since it opened last month. Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end. It dwarfs the world's second biggest pool, the Orthlieb - nicknamed the Big Splash - in Morocco , which is a mere 150 yards long and 100 yards wide. An Olympic size pool measures some 50 yards by 25 yards. Chile 's monster pool uses a computer- controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation, drawing it in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other. The sun warms the water to 26c, nine degrees warmer than the adjoining sea. Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, whose Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool, said advanced engineering meant his company could build "an impressive artificial paradise" even in inhospitable areas."As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean."

Welcome to The Travel Beggar's Blog

Welcome to my one stop spot for Travel Info On the Internet!
This site was created because I love to read about travel, research travel, and actually travel anywhere possible. It's not uncommon to see me, the Travel Beggar, sitting around a bookstore in their travel magazine section, reading and researching my next adventure. Many of my friends and family will often come to me searching for travel tips or info. Now I don't claim to know everything or even a lot, but I do think I can find the information if need be. There is only one problem; with the internet, magazines, guide books, and travel agents; I am often plagued with too much bad information.
Thus the creation of the Travel Beggar blog as an add on to my Travel Beggar Website (http://www.travelbeggar.homestead.com/) . I have a collection of websites that I often use, and through this site I will discuss and share them with anyone who wants to use them. I also hope to learn about new websites, magazines, and resources that can aid in all of our travels.
