Researching travel websites is a great way for travel nurses to plan for an assignment or vacation.
As you roam about the country as a travel nurse, you may wish to do a little vacationing—or at the very least exploring—on your off time. Here are 10 great travel websites for travel nurses looking to plan a weekend getaway or simply prepare for your next travel nursing assignment.
1. Frommers.com – You may have heard of Frommer’s if you’ve ever skimmed the travel section of your favorite bookstore. Even though the books are more comprehensive than the website, the site has the advantage of offering the most up-to-date travel information. Frommers.com is also very interactive, inviting viewers to post photos of their various travel destinations and to discuss travel topics in forums. There’s even a blog maintained here by Arthur Frommer himself where he comments almost daily on the worldwide travel scene.
2. Fodors.com – If you’ve seen Frommer’s travel advice books, then you’ve most likely paged through Fodor’s travel advice books as well. Fodor’s goes online with a comprehensive website that points out top destinations in the U.S. and abroad. If you’re a travel nurse researching within the U.S., the site lets you search state by state for the best sightseeing, entertainment, dining and daytrip options. Fodor’s is unique in that it breaks down smaller, more off-the-map cities and points out little-known gems.
3. LonelyPlanet.com – This site is similar to Frommer’s in that it has a community of viewers that have lively discussions on travel in forums. You can use the site to search for specific destination cities or regions and find out what sights to see, where you can go for entertainment, where to shop and what restaurants are recommended. What sets this site apart are the thorough overviews of the cities that give travel nurses an idea of what kind of vibe to expect there. [click to continue…]
