What Do We Do At traveljunkies?

At traveljunkies we promote businesses in the travel, tourism and activities industries.

We started back in 2002 as an “early day blog” for scuba diving and skydiving, but it soon became clear people wanted more than that and other activies such as whitewater rafting, rock climbing, skiing and all kinds of water sports, as well as accommodation and travel soon got added.

Today we have over 3000 businesses in traveljunkies covering most activities in nearly every country in the world.

So if you want to go trekking on horseback in Mongolia we have several businesses listed who are ready to serve you.

We promote businesses by giving a FREE ADVERT (totally free, no strings) on our website.

We also offer various paid advertisements that are the best value for money on the Internet and you’ll find our prices here.
