At the moment we have 2 monthly awards up for grabs in recognition of just some of the great stuff that Ubertrampers are contributing to the community.

The April’s Article of the Month award went to Somkid for his honest and straight talking article on How to Avoid Tourist Scams in Bangkok. More of his work can be found via his community profile and also on his own website. Thanks Somkid, and congratulations!

Tip of the Month went to Wade from vagabondjourney.com for a cracking piece providing tips on How to Sleep Outdoors for Free. It’s a must read for anyone considering to sleep on the smallest budget of all! More tips just like these can be founds on his profile and are indeed regularly posted on his goliath of a budget travel website. Check it out.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to send in all the great tips and articles last month - and thanks for making the selection process so difficult!

Each month we’ll be picking new winners, so, if you’re not already part of the Ubertramp budget travel community, sign up and get sending!
