So I live in Detroit and plan on traveling to many places at a time and sometimes by myself. Right now the way I plan to travel is through orbitz and it seems pretty cheap, but sometimes its super expensive. Like a flight from detroit to japan to australia to detroit is almost 5,000 bucks.

If I want to be a traveling fool what is the best way to go?

The company I work for is putting together an information packet for our employees when they travel. What sorts of information do you think would be helpful to have for international as well as domestic travel? Anything that you can think of would be great, some ideas we have are hotel amenities, passport information, travel itinerary. Can anyone think of anything else?

I really appreciate your help.
