Reliable Travel Resources

Visa Requirements

General Information

  • Wiki Voyage. Very comprehensive, travel-oriented Wiki pages for all countries, as well as their regions, cities, and attractions. Includes information on logistics (how to get there, visa requirements), travel tips, safety information, health and connectivity tips, cultural nuances. It's a must-read before travelling to any destination. It also is a better alternative to Wikitravel (which is for-profit) or a regular Wikipedia (which is not travel-oriented).

Weather and Best Time to Visit

  • Weatherspark (e.g. for Nairobi). Great data and insights on historical weather (temperature, rainfall, sunshine, humidity, hourly temperatures). Extremely useful for picking your time to go somewhere.

  • Climates to Travel (e.g. for Japan). Detailed human-written guides on weather for majority of destinations, covering local nuances, best time to visit, weather events like typhoons and hurricane seasons.
