True, Trip advisor, Former’s and the Lonely Planet are some of the best online travels community going, but they’re far from the only ones with the greats. So go on, expand your travel community horizon and check out our 7 Best Off The Radar Travel Communities:
1. Travelistic
From YouTube to Hula to Yahoo, was a video fanatical bunch. Travelsick has cleverly taken this to head and created a travel community wholly centered on video.
Log on and you’ll find over 10,000 user submitted travel videos, to view, comment on and prompt your future travels. Want to visit the Great Wall? trip to the top of Everest? You can do it all on Travelsick, without ever leaving home.
2. Gouge
A masterful all in one travels community, where you can plan your trip, compare flight and hotels and share your travel experience with the world.
Just type in a purpose and you’ll be instantly linked to a plethora of photos, reviews and users who have traveled or reside there. When you’re ready to go, create your very own trip magazine and give back to the community by sharing your own travel experience.
3. Trip It
Less of a travel community and more a travel repair, Trip It is perfect for the group nut in all of us. Just enter your flight, hotel stays and destinations and let trip it create an optimized travel journey for you in seconds. Never miss another plane or train again.
For those who truly want it all, improve to the pro version and Trip It will mechanically alert you if there are change or delays in your travels plans. That means less time at the airfield, and more time at the beach.
4. Doppler
Create a map with the dates and place of your travels; share it with the Doppler community, check out other’s maps, then meet up with those whose travel plans overlie with your own. If you’d like to keep your location a covert from some (mom, dad, a raging x), don’t worry, you can control who can and can’t see where you are.
Along the way you’ll get riches of location specific travels in order, so you’ll always know where to stay, where to eat, and what to do. Taking the thinking out of roving, we like that.
5. Travbuddy
Travbuddy’s got the entire ingredient that make for a killer online travels community; helpful forums, frank reviews, stunning travel photos and a devoted friendship 1.5 million strong.
Travbuddy ups the ante by giving you your very trip blog, allow you to simply post your stories, pictures and reviews as you go. There’s even a built in map feature that builds a map of your travels as you project across the earth.
Wherever, you’re headed, this is one buddy you don’t want to leave after.
6. Travellers Point
Besides being a great place to plan, book and share your next trip, Travelers Point has hands down one of the best travel income on the web; wiki travels guides.
These 100% user created and edited travels guides, give you the group wisdom and travels experience of over 250,000 members, right at your finger tips. From country and city guides, to travels fitness and safety in order, you’ll find everything you need to get in the know, before you go.
