Lonely Planet

Originally designed to help travelers plan their vacations and learn more about their destinations, the Lonely Planet site possesses a cornucopia of educational information for students as well. As a travel-oriented site, it has travel tips, passport and visa requirements, and information on local prices, but what is of real interest on this site is its richly detailed profiles of each country. Each profile contains basic geographical information, many gorgeous photographs and maps, and entertaining essays detailing the country's history, culture, and interesting places to visit. Electronic postcards where travelers describe their adventures in each country give the site additional depth and a personal touch.
