There’s a new (beta) travel site on the block, TourDust.com. According to the blurb, “It’s all about discovering and sharing authentic travel experiences offered by passionate locals.” They’ve got some interesting trips up there so far: from wine-tasting in the UK to photographing bears in Alaska. (The latter is possibly my dream trip. Although at US$750 a day, I’d better start saving now.)
The one thing I’m unsure about is the over-reliance on the word “authentic”, which is plastered across the site. They are asking people to post their “authentic travel experiences”. What exactly does that mean? Is it the same as striving to see the “real side” of a country? I’ve never been comfortable with that phrase either.
