InterRail passes have always been a fantastic way to travel Europe independently on a budget. From this year, it's now got even simpler. You can choose precisely which countries you want to visit, or get a global pass that covers all 30 participating countries. Easy.

Experience Russia, Mongolia, China and Vietnam at ground level, travelling with the locals, experiencing the cities with a local honcho, eating out and getting around at local prices. Vodkatrain takes the traditional ideas of group travel and gives it a hearty kick up the backside.

These tours are an awesome way to travel. A bunch of you in the back of a big, converted truck, all pitching in together, camping under the stars, buying your own food in local markets and seeing some of the most amazing places on the planet... from gorillas in Uganda, past the Great Wall of China all the way to Machu Picchu in Peru.

Australia is a huge continent, with vast distances between places you want to see. Depending on the time you have available, you'll want to look at different types of transport. We have great prices on small group adventure tours, express bus passes, car and campervan hire and budget flights.

New Zealand is a manageable country in terms of distance, but transport is still a key issue. You need to balance up your desire for hassle-free travel with your need for flexibility. That's why we have chosen a range of passes and transport types that cover New Zealand in all its glory.

The USA is another country of vast distances, so we've picked out information and deals on travel passes for a variety of different ways of seeing this huge, famous country. From the classic Greyhound coaches to the modern adventure tours of TrekAmerica, there should be enough choice for anyone.

Canada is actually bigger than the USA. In fact it's the second largest country on Earth and much of the terrain is best described as 'rugged', so it's worthwhile planning out your transport options a bit in advance. There are some great rail passes available, as well as an excellent choice of backpacker tours.

Fiji isn't very big, but it can be difficult to get around. You can choose from bus passes that help you uncover the hidden gems of the main island, ferry passes that let you explore the outlying islands at your leisure, or internal flights that will really help you get away from it all!
