Not just pretentious, but some crap writing, to boot:
“Australian Outback, Northern Territory. Circumnavigate the rusty hulk of Uluru, Australia’s rock of ages, listen to the songs of ancestors sung by the winds whistling through great gaping gashes carved by sneaking waters; as a frilled neck lizard croaks for an encore under burning blue skies.”
Ugh! And where’s the proofreader? What’s that semi-colon doing there??

I suppose that will depend on who contributes content to the site. There are an awful lot of pretentious people out there.
We’re all pretty pretentious or we wouldn’t be here.
I would like a good travel guide with local tips kept up to date by recent travelers and long-time expats and so on. There are places in your town that the official guides rave about and you know are crap, or at least too overcrowded to be worth visiting except on Monday mornings or whatever. But the tips would have to include a description of the writer — some kid’s “excellent place to meet people” might be Eeksy-Peeksy’s “noisy, uncomfortable, overpriced warehouse full of sweaty kids.”
Nice of you to share, thanks. I hope they aren’t as pretentious as travelintelligence.com

I’m afraid I lost ‘hip’ somewhere along the line, a long time ago.
No updates in three days…maybe there could be a call for articles here?
