The "not so" lonely planet created why?

This is the start of a new blog by travelers for travelers who already have an extensive collection of presumably good travel handbooks. Handbooks that 20 or so years ago really was for the active shoestring and backpacker travelers but now have ended up being too commercial with skewed reporting based on the need to get sponsors.

The author himself has a lot of handbooks yet on arrival in the extensive amount of travels undertaken the last 20 odd years there is still a gap between what is reported and what should be experienced in the various places.

For a place to be reviewed in this blog the author or travelers that he knows or who he sees have a down to earth, not judgmental knowledge about places visited. This irrespective if it might be a hotel, restaurant, bar, night club or any other establishment. What is important is that any review is based on a real traveler feeling rather than the commercial (ill give you a review as you gave me good service, as you know ill write for this book... magazine. type of review.)
