stradaThere is still no specific website dedicated exclusively to round the world tours, apart from this one!
But you can try discussion boards such as virtualtourist.com and lonelyplanet.com Thorn Tree, where you can post and read messages on specific travel topics. Travel blogs are another source of first hand advice and information.
