TravBuddy is a “one-stop” where an individual can share travel photos, reviews, and experiences with others. The colors are nice too, rather cheerful and do not detract from the site itself, the layout is quite simple.
The site is the brainchild of two brothers just out of college, who wanted young people to have a place to go for quality firsthand travel experiences. While perusing the site, I found a user who has visited fourteen countries and journaled the entire trip, including mapping it out using google maps. TravBuddy’s registered users come from all over the world.
In order to post photos, reviews of your travel, or any other info an individual has to be registered and so far the site owners boast at least 1000 members and is increasing almost daily.
At first glance, an individual who is not familiar with the site will wonder its purpose, as it really isn’t clear until reading the “about” section at the bottom of the web page. Once I understood the purpose of the site, I thought it was pretty unique. I’ve never seen one like it before but considering there are already 1000 members I’d say there must obviously be a need for it. “If you build it they will come” and they certainly came to TravBuddy in droves. It’ll take a little while to navigate and get used to it but it’s relatively simple and if you want to get some real firsthand information about traveling to a particular destination this is certainly the place to go.
Just remember that like everyone’s tastes tend to be different and while it’s a great idea to take into consideration the feedback on TravBuddy it shouldn’t be the sole resource in making any travel decisions. Overall I’d say this is a unique site and has a lot of potential so long as its members give quality feedback.NULL
