An independent traveller’s library

What changed in the journal

A record of changes you can use. A new website feature does not mean that every transport detail or travel guide has been rechecked.

· Practical journeys edition

From a useful guide to your own plan

  • Published four focused guides: Singapore in one day, free outdoor places, Singapore with children and a first Langkawi visit, with official sources and map-search links.
  • Destination articles can open the trip planner with that destination selected. Supported comparison articles preselect both places.
  • The comparison tool has a shareable destination-only link; personal notes are not included.
  • My device data supports reading-list export, reviewed import and confirmed removal of selected local data.
  • The packing checklist now supports personal items, local saving and a complete text download.

· Travel library edition

More ways to find the right answer

  • Six country reading collections connect guides and make the limits of current coverage explicit.
  • The Sabah destination and coast comparison are classified under Malaysia, not Indonesia. Cross-country comparisons still appear in both relevant collections.
  • Journal search now includes article paragraphs, lists, tables and answers, not only introductory text and headings.
  • A 20-term travel glossary, questions index and source library link explanations to their context.
  • The trip outline tool supports a saved device-only draft and an all-day calendar export for a start date you choose.
  • Article contents can be collapsed and opened using the keyboard or a pointer.

· Reader tools edition

Keep useful research close

Added reading paths for new visitors, homepage search, catalogue sorting and shareable filters. Guides can be downloaded as text, the reading size can be adjusted, and a budget draft can be saved locally. The RSS feed follows published guides.

Publication, review and feature dates are different

Guide review dates remain on the individual articles. This log records editorial organisation and website functionality. It does not promise live prices, current transport availability or a site-wide factual review on the date above.
