“For every traveller who has any taste of his own, the only useful guidebook will be the one which he himself has written“ – Aldous Huxley
TravPad is crowd sourced. We are constructing a travel and social network site with our users. It gathers information about people and places. The aim is to bring those people and places together, all across the globe. We are really keen to share the information from around the users’ own towns or cities. The site shows what you can see, what you can do, where you can go.
The site lets you have the information you need while traveling between places. Where is the best bar? Which hotel got the best review? Where are my friends? TravPad will tell you. Better than that, but you’ll be able to tailor your travel guide to your own holiday – and keep it in your pocket on your smartphone! By using wi-fi for downloading and saving content means no money spent on apps and no expensive roaming charges either.
Something missing? Just add it on the map! The information should represent “the real world”. If it’s not quite right then others can make it more accurate through a simplified version of the “wiki process”. You just add what you think is important – let the rest of the TravPad community do the rest!
TravPad is map-driven.
Select ‘accommodation’ and all accommodation in a chosen area will appear. Click on any accommodation icon and it will bring up a simple profile page of that place. All you need to know on one page, without endless scrolling or messing about. Facts and information, contact details, pictures and videos, reviews added by other TravPad users. We are determined to map everything, even the smallest of places, especially if they are secret ones, added by locals.
You get to have your own profile page, with access to a global social-diary. To see what is going on, when and where.
You also get tools to use. As local-guides and home stays. All to hang out with other TravPadders. TravPad is dedicated to community, for shared adventure and mutual assistance – we’re not interested in cliques. We want to help make social integration easy, both at home and abroad. To make life more fun.
Wherever you are in the world, you always have neighbours with TravPad.
