Low-down on the travel writers' hideaways

To find out what real travellers recommend as the ultimate "before you die" holiday experience, consult a new website called www.travelintelligence.net. Set up by A A Gill and others, the site purports to offer "the real story", providing a platform for travel writers, who share hotel recommendations, advice and honest talk straight from the horse's mouth about places in the world. The site also suggests outings such as "driving a team of huskies in the Arctic night beneath a sky mushrooming with aurora borealis" as a way of rounding off a well-lived life. Hurry if you want this information - it's free now but about to become a subscription service and, inevitably, there will be links into specialist tour operators. That, actually, is the real story.
