Shoot smart: Phil Greenspun's website offers perhaps the best free advice on photography available on the Net. Want to take better travel pictures? Visit his site for tips on everything from choosing a camera and film to composing an interesting shot. Greenspun delivers volumes of useful information in an amusing way. And check out his travel writing, which is often more about him than the places he visits. Despite, or perhaps because of, his cynical narcissism, he's an amusing companion.

The site offers a booking service and a list of itineraries for freighters that accept passengers. Cruising costs on average $100 a day.
