Los Angeles Times Service

A helpful travel community is forming at GeckoGo.com. It tells you the best times (and the not-so-great ones) for travel tailored to your specific interests.

What's hot: The ''Best Destinations'' map on the Home page is unique. You have a flat globe in front of you and all you have to do is fill in the blanks. The heading reads: ''Best Destinations for (select travel interests from a drop-down menu) and (select travel activities from a drop-down menu) in (select month),'' and the map will light up with recommended destinations based on your selections.

What's not: There are so many areas on this website to contribute your own travel tips and wisdom, don't be surprised if you feel a little guilty just being a voyeur. I filled out how many countries (and some of the cities I'd been to) in the ''My World'' section and the site said I had the knowledge but hadn't shared it. Ouch.
