<blockquote><p>World Nomads have created a Travel Scholarship program to provide passionate individuals the opportunity to further their skills through professional mentorship, in the fields of either travel writing, travel photography, video documentary filmmaking or podcasting.</p>
<p>They know that there is no better way than to learn on the job and no more valuable experience when it comes to learning than having a professional in that field guide you. We&#8217;re absolutely passionate about not only keeping our World Nomads travelling safely, but also about providing opportunities to get the most out of their travel experience. For some, that is a desire to combine their love of travel and a chosen career and we want the Travel Scholarships program to be a stepping stone to achieve that.</p>
<p>You could be filming in India, recording a podcast in Thailand or writing a story from a mountain in Nepal. We&#8217;ll continue to partner with the best travel companies, to provide amazing travel experiences and high quality mentors to help you learn and share your experiences with the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://itchy-feet.com.au/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-198" title="if135x150" src="http://itchy-feet.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/if135x150.gif" alt="" width="135" height="150" /></a>The Itchy Feet Travel Guide website for Australia has been updated with a new look website and more information for backpackers, flashpackers and gappackers. The main site has a fresh, brand new look that is easier to navigate because we have moved to a more powerful database system that allows easier searching of the site. We have added a stack of hostels that can now be reviewed by those who have stayed in them. And boy, do we have a few honest reviews from some of the travelling public!  It is a must for those who want to get the inside goss on what a hostel is really like before they stay there, so feel free to contribute your two cents.  We also have added a comparison section under the link &#8220;Hostels / Hotels&#8221; where travellers can see a list of hostels for a place and compare the price and availability for their own travel dates. All the information is updated by the hostels themselves so it is going to more accurate than the old way we used to operate where it was done by us.</p>
<p><span id="more-196"></span><br />

<p>We have ditched the old forum based section of the site and replaced it with a new blog style area. The beauty with this is that we have also added a &#8220;Make Money&#8221; option for travellers that want to contribute. There is more information on our site on how to make money as a travel writer so check it out.<br />
We have also added a range of Adventure travel tours listed under a link &#8220;Adventure Tours&#8221;. This is great for creating a full itinerary where some of your tours can be booked in advance.</p>
<p>After seeing our site, <a href="http://www.itchy-feet.com.au">www.itchy-feet.com.au</a> feel free to leave us a comment on what you would like to see or on how you think the site has developed.  We are constantly trying to improve the information so stay tuned.</p>
