The Mantra of Transformation
The Mother on Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo came upon earth to teach this truth to men. He told them that man is only a transitional being living in a mental consciousness, but with the possibility of acquiring a new consciousness, the Truth-consciousness, and capable of living a life perfectly harmonious, good and beautiful, happy and fully conscious. During the whole of his life upon earth, Sri Aurobindo gave all his time to establish in himself this consciousness he called supramental, and to help those gathered around him to realise it.

# How to find airlines Black Friday, Cyber Monday deals

Black Friday and Cyber Monday aren't just for buying toys, clothes and jewelry anymore. Hotels, resorts, cruise lines and online travel sites such as Expedia, Priceline and Travelocity are also trumpeting their holiday sales.
And so are some airlines.
For the Thanksgiving doorbuster sale that kicked off at 5 a.m. Thursday morning, Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air sold 60 seats for $30 one-way on select routes. Its Cyber Monday sale starts Dec. 2 at 5 a.m. and some one-way fares will be selling for $59. Additional restrictions, of cour

# How to become a travel writer (seriously)
Start reading and don t stop.
Read all the greats, but don t skip the more obscure writers. Read magazines. Get yourself a library card if you don t have one, and if you can t do that, check Google Books and Google Magazines.
The idea isn t to imitate, but to simply know what what genres, what styles, what writers came before you, as well as who your contemporaries are.
2. Redefine the genre of travel writing.
Travel writing includes hotel reviews and destination guides, published in guidebooks and in glossy travel magazines. But travel writing s more than service pieces.
Check out this genre-busting, long-format narrative by Porter Fox. Or this blog post by multi-genre writer Elizabeth Eslami, which I d categorize as place-based writing.
In a way, all movement and all settling is travel, and so the stories we tell about these experiences are travel writing in the broade

# How To Book A Flight On The WAY Cheap
Designed by Daniel Koppich
Planning that summer sojourn to the beaches of Nice while it was still snowing would have been the responsible thing to do, but when scheduling dinner a week in advance feels restrictive, most people aren't rushing to buy a non-refundable ticket to Europe six months out. Luckily, there is still a way to travel serendipitously without having to settle on a road trip to a doily-ridden B B two hours away.
Brett Snyder, who runs air-travel blog The Cranky Flier. says that it’s helpful to patrol deal sites, like AirfareWatchdog.com and FareCompare.com. “But really, it’s a matter of just finding a market with cheap seats available."

# How to Become a Travel Writer
By: Guest Column | November 11, 2013
Each person in the audience fights the bull along with the torero, not by following the flight of the cape, but by using another imaginary one that moves differently than the one in the ring.
—Federico García Lorca, Poem of the Bull
Nearly everyone loves to travel, and many of us wrote a really great story in Junior High, so often people feel it would be easy to become a travel writer. But to me, it is like entering the ring in Madrid s Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas to face a raging bull, waving, instead of a cape, Hemingway s truest sentence you know .
All good travel writing moves the reader twice: it transports him to a place, and moves him emotionally.

# How the 5 biggest online travel agencies are expanding beyond mobile bookings
April 14, 2014
Kayak's mobile app
The next generation of mobile innovation for online travel agencies is moving away from transactions to influencing all parts of the travel experience, including loyalty programs, personalized messages and real-world sales.
Mobile Marketer looked at the mobile offerings from five online travel brands: Expedia, Travelocity, Kayak, Orbitz and Priceline. Although streamlining the mobile commerce experience is still a big priority for many, brands are also looking at how to leverage other mediums to gain market share.

Let me start this out by saying I didn't hack something in the black hat Hackers way, but by finding a market inefficiency and leveraging it to my advantage. It must be the day trader in me. No harm was done to any computers or systems in the making of this post.
TL;DR: I booked a flight through Kayak using a VPN and saved
$100.
Long version: I was looking for flights to New Orleans when I realized that the flight price I checked yesterday was
$100 cheaper. I started to think why the price went up so much in one day and tried checking the flight again using only Google Incognito but there was no price budge. Maybe my VPN had something to do with it? The night before I was using a VPN

# What Makes a Good Travel Agent?
Full disclosure: I'm in the market for a holiday trip to a popular destination (a Hawaiian island) for a friend's wedding. I figured I'd mix business and pleasure, and turn this article into a quest for affordable airfare.
As a result, I had three agendas:
1) To find a "Good Travel Agent." What is this elusive creature?
2) To experience this creature's purported magic first-hand.
3) To (somehow!) find a great airfare in a sold-out market.
A Monday afternoon's calls to some local travel agents went thusly:
First call: No answer, left message, no returned call within 48 hours, still haven't heard from them.
Second call: Spoke to an agent, gave her my itinerary, then had this exchange:
"We'll see what we can do, and give you a call." I had to ask when that call might come.
"Hopefully by the end of the week." (Remember, this was on Mond

# Things You'll Need
Find a home-based travel company that is right for you. Most of these at-home travel agencies are turn-key systems, which are basic and easy to use. For example, check out KHM Travel Group and America's Vacation Center. These organizations offer support, guidance and an array of tips to succeed in your new business. You are usually working as an independent contractor, so you will have your own business name, letterhead and website address. You will also be taxed as an independent contractor.
Invest in an at-home office. Set aside a space in your home that will be used as your office. Even if it it just a desk and laptop in the corner of your bedroom, keep the space organized and all your materials close by. You will need a computer, Internet access, telephone, fax machine and credit card.

# How to Find Airline Tickets for Cheap
Promoted by
Plan Ahead, But Just Barely
In nearly all aspects of reserving cheap airfare, you'll find that the best deals are available for a small window of time. The Airlines Reporting Corporation reported that the magic number for booking tickets in advance is about 42 days. Travelers who booked their flights six weeks in advance saved 5.8 percent on average. Predictably, the study found that prices rise steeply as you get closer to your departure date. More surprising was that prices are also higher when you book further out. At 98 days out or more from your date of departure, the price has stabilized around the national average.
Know When to Fly and When to Buy
Fare Compare (farecompare.com) reports that the best time to buy your airline tickets is at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesdays. If you're skeptical of this precise window, just compare the rates a few times througho

# Choosing the Right Tour Company
While independent travelers tend to shun organized tour companies, they are often hard to avoid. The truth is that we all take an organized tour at some point. Whether it’s just for a day or a week or our whole holiday, organized trips are usually in our travel plans at some point. I’ve taken them in the past, and will probably take plenty more in the future. They are often hard to avoid, and many destinations (like Halong Bay, the Galapagos Islands. the Serengeti, Machu Picchu) are inaccessible without them.
Usually synonymous with big buses and camera-clicking holiday makers, organized tours can actually be quite good. They can be especially great for first-time travelers unsure about setting out on their own. Tours can give people the time to adjust to the travel lifestyle. And anything that gets people up and o

# How to Create a Travel Website
Promoted by
Find a website host and a domain name. Some travel sites offer a free membership if you register and additional features if you upgrade to a paid plan. Alternately, you can start an independent website by contacting a website host (see Resources).
Design the outline for your site before you leave on vacation if you plan to upload photographs and videos as you travel. Select a simple background that does not detract from your content. Consider using a complementary theme. For example, if you will be posting photos from an island vacation, choose a background that features a beach and palm trees.
Get creative with your photos. The last thing viewers want to see is you, repeatedly, waving at the camera from in front of the most recent tourist attraction you visited. Instead, consider using the panorama feature on your camera to allow them to scroll for a 180-degree view of the scenery.

Research online consolidators. An online consolidator is a website that allows you to book hotels, airline seats, car rentals and even meals via the web. Consolidators typically offer you multiple options when you input data into the site. Using a consolidator can be an excellent means of finding last minute lodgings. A consolidator such as Kayak lets you put in the dates when you expect to arrive and depart. After you've put data in the right fields, a list of available hotels will pop up on your screen for your intended destination as well as a list of prices.
Contact hotels directly. Find out which hotels are in the area where you intend to stay. Call or email each one. Ask about which rooms are available at the present time. A hotel manager may be able to offer you a deal if you agree to take the room quickly.

# Things You'll Need
An origination and destination
Tentative dates
You will first need to determine where it is you need to go, and where you would like to depart from. It is often cheaper to leave and fly into a smaller airport or a co-terminal. If you are an inexperienced traveler, it may be better for you to travel on a direct flight, or through a smaller connection city. Keep in mind though that it is usually cheaper to connect that to fly direct.
Determine at least tentatively when you would like to leave and when you would like to arrive. This includes not only the actual day, but also the time of day you would like to arrive or leave. If possible, consider taking the earliest flight possible. Weather delays occur more often in the afternoons, when thunderstorms have had a chance to develop. You will also need to consider the fact that many of the cheaper air fares involve a weekend stay. Read all conditions before booking anyt

# How to Find Hotel Deals
When it comes to booking a room, finding the most bang for your buck is no simple task. Here, Andrea Bennett reveals her four-step plan.
Travelers treat searching for hotel rates online like a game of roulette: try enough combinations (dates, locations, travel agencies), and you’ll score the perfect one. But it’s easy to forget that booking a room through an online travel agency means that if you need to change your travel dates or find a better deal, you may pay a penalty, often upward of $25. Add to this the fact that hotels don’t reward loyalty points for stays reserved through discount booking sites, and that bargain-basement price doesn’t look so appealing. Avoid pitfalls by following these approaches:

Comments (56)
My wife and I have begun to explore the idea of taking a trip later this year. We re in the preliminary stages of our research and budgeting. Though we aren t ready to book anything yet, it s fun to look at what s available, and to dream of where we might go.
Over the weekend, I polled my followers on Twitter to ask their advice for finding great travel deals. Here are some of the tips and websites they recommended. I m sure I ll refer to this list often in the coming months.

# Looking for Cheap Airfare Deals
Looking for Cheap Airfare Deals
Finding cheap airfare has become a demanding obsession for many travelers. Many travelers believe that cheapest airfare is impossible to get, but the desire for cheap airfare deals can be solved with the help of gaining few skills.
Cheap airfare deals were unheard of until a few years back. This was the time when airlines used to publish their airfares in directories or the traditional travel agent would actually had to reserve your seat on the phone, no matter what, the entire process was time consuming and cumbersome. With the help of new improved modern technology, airlines authorities sell their unused seats at the last minute at a variety of venues, sometimes they sell tickets with cheapest airfare<

# How to Find the Best Car Rental Deals in Florida
Renting a car could be a frustrating and tiring experience because of the zillions of options that you have to choose from. Most people start online and spend half their day sitting in front of a computer and bookmark good deals. If you’re looking to rent a car in Florida. you don’t need to look any further if you have found Car Rental Express. The website has a link to over 250 independent car rental agencies across the world.
The first thing about renting a car is the car itself – it is wiser to choose a car which meets your requirements and not be extravagant.

The length of the rental period is also equally important; it is essential to remember that weekly rates are much cheaper than daily rates.

# How to Travel Full-Time for $17,000 a Year (or Less!)
Wise Bread Picks
For the last five years, I've been traveling the world full-time, and for less money than I've ever spent (and I'd wager less money than most people would spend) to live in one place.
My worldly possessions fit into one bag (just larger than carry-on size) and a backpack containing my laptop and computer gear. This small entourage (weighing less than 45 pounds in total) comes with me as I wander around the world, sometimes quickly, but mostly slowly. (See also: 40,000 Mile Sign-up Bonus with US Airways )

No security lines or TSA pat downs. Cushy leather seats and legroom for days. Fido curled up right next to you. The perks of flying on a private jet used to be something only the rich and famous enjoyed. But that’s changing — and in some cases, you can fly on a private jet or plane for the cost of coach (or less) if you know how to shop smartly.
A handful of sites and private jet companies are following the lead of hotels and hotel websites and offering last-minute deals on unused inventory, and others are changing the cost structure of private plane travel to make it vastly more affordable.

When thinking green, think Switzerland. It s arguably one of the world s most environmentally-conscious countries, and that no doubt explains why train travel there is so eco-friendly.

Trains can take you from Zurich airport to the top of the Jungfraujoch and its stunning views to the German Black Forest and the French Vosges.

#how to find cheapest flights
# How to get cheap long-haul flights
If you want a bargain flight, it's almost always better to book as far ahead as possible. Avoiding school holidays and travelling on weekdays rather than weekends are obvious ways to cut costs, but Chris Brown, co-founder of sunshine.co.uk. has a few more tips: The time of day you book an also make a difference. A flight you find midweek, after midnight, may well by much cheaper than one on a Saturday afternoon, because of when airlines update their systems.
Brown adds that now is a good time to book flights. Many airlines have 'goodbye winter' sales, he says. The downside is the flights are for February/March and not later in the year.
The good news for consumers this year, says Leo Purcell of Opodo (opodo.co.uk ), is that airlines are having to work hard to stimulate demand, which means we are seeing deflation. Opodo saw average ticket prices drop by 5% to 10% in many areas, and by as much a

Here are some tips to land great deals.
Time It Right
In general, the cheapest days and times to fly are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday afternoon, when airlines usually have the weakest demand for tickets. When you shop for tickets can affect the price as well. The worst time to shop is on the weekend -- just the time many people are also shopping!
Airlines tend to file price increases on Thursdays to see if competitors will match over the weekend. If rival airlines don't follow, the price increases can be rolled back by Monday morning before business travelers
