Katie Derham presents the holiday magazine with insider tips from listeners and travel experts.

Katie explores some of the ways in which the internet is changing the travel industry by establishing an alternative travel experience. Including a report from Natalia Rolleston on her experiences of 'couch surfing' (staying on locals' sofas for free) and an Italian cyber-tour guide talks about his video-guided cycling tours around Italy. Plus a look at Second Life tourism, which treats visitors to a virtual visit around their city of choice.
