After reading a few tour journals that mentioned little business cards, I made some of my own. I'm just wondering though, how many people actually have these? I think it's an awesome idea...

I wish I'd had some. I think.
Then again, all I had was a website that was barely updated.

I wrote this Travel Card (http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/journal/954) guide long ago and still have people contacting me amazed at the quality. Depending on your photography, these blow regular cards away and you make them right at home (with a photo quality printer). I have a version with our home number on it and always carry a few in the local area. You can make these the full size of a business card but I like size I've set the guide to produce.

Cheers,

I am currently traveling around parts of South America and found that the cards I made have come it quite handy. I give them mostly to other travelers and the occasional local whom I've hit it off with. I was a little embarassed at first to hand them out, but it is often easier then searching for a pen and loose paper. I think they are a great idea.
