Jaunted Embedded Travel Guides: The DLR Is a Bit Like Sex

We are constantly searching for the most timely and useful travel information on locations around the world. We have always found that boots on the ground is a great way to sift through the marketing clutter and bring you the travel tips, information, and opinions you crave. However, now it is time to kick it up a notch. First, we are searching the world for folks who can take you on a field trip of their "backyard." When we find these folks, we then embed them into their local travel scene and ask them to be our eyes and ears out in the field.

We are expecting the same sort of grainy video, choppy sentences, and snapshot photos that you are use to seeing from embeds. The rub is, at the end of the day we should be left with a backyard travel guidebook like no other.

Our first embed is Benji Lanyado of London, UK. He is a budget travel columnist for the Guardian Newspaper in the UK. He also is the fearless leader of Youngin Europe, so expect his guide to skew young, but not that young, we intend to keep this thing legal. He lives in London and enjoys ranting about football.

Now that you have all the particulars, sit back and enjoy the trip.

London :: Public Transportation
The hottest transport in London.

Last week I pissed all my friends off by asking for their tuppence on the best London Underground lines. The Northern, Victoria and Jubilee were the punters' choices. This was all very democratic and suchlike, yet now that we're alone I should probably make amends for a rather heinous omission on their part. The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) is, in fact, the goddam hottest line of them all.

The Great Tube Debate
Hot off the press, kind of. London's Top 3 Tube Lines.

Probably the one (maybe only) thing that unites Londoners is our beloved transport system- the tube. Like a slightly regrettable one-night stand; we've all done it, it feels a bit dirty, and when you're drunk it seems like the best thing ever.

Last week I took the decided to annoy all of my friends by spamming them with a simple question. "What's the best tube line, and why?" The results are in, and here's the top three.
