FAQ

How do you pronounce Travellious?
(trah-vell-ee-us) Our name, like our philosophy, is one part travel and one part rebellious. Still confused? Hover over that TRAVwhat? above.
Can I subscribe to a full RSS feed?
Yes, we have one. It's right here. You're welcome.
How can I advertise on Travellious?
We don't sell text links. Head over here and if you like what you see, send us an e-mail. And, we don't sell text links.
I want to write for you. Are you hiring?
We'd love to have more writers, but we don't have the budget for it at the moment.
Where do you find the photos you use on your site?
We love spotlighting the talented pool of photographers on Flickr. Every photo we use that isn't one of our own is Creative Commons and credited in every post. We also highlight photos from our Travellious Flickr Group regularly on the site. Head over there and share your best shots and you just might be featured on the blog.
Do you ever use guidebooks?
Sure, we do. But we've been slowly weaning ourselves off them in the internet age. We love smaller, locally-written books (like Roma nel Piato, for instance) and we love blogs written by locals even more. For maps, we're developing tools for ourselves (and you!) to be able to create your own personal wondermap for your travels. And, if all else fails we just pick up a map when we get there.
Why is Austin obsessed with BBQ?
If you're asking this question, then you've probably never had BBQ before. Go watch this. In all seriousness, it's good, it's made by real people, and the recipe varies by region. The definition of local cuisine.
What camera equipment do you use?
We shoot with a Canon Digital Rebel XT and a shiny new Canon T1i. We shuffle between Canon EFS 17-85 and 50mm 1.8 lenses. We've also just started shooting video with a Kodak Zi6 (no, it's not a flip.)
What blogging platform do you use?
Drupal. We like it because it allows us to build a website exactly the way that WE want it and we like to torture ourselves.
I like your site's template, where did you get it?
We made it, from scratch. If you'd like us to design something for your website, drop us a line.
Will you link to my site?
We've dropped our links page because it's a beast to keep up with. If you're a blogger, feel free to send us a link to your site. We're always looking for new sites to spotlight. If you're a service or travel-related business, drop us a note. We're constantly reviewing and featuring travel products and services on the site.
