Introducing Tripwolf, the new social media travel site to watch out for
Tweet
Travelling is probably one of my biggest passions in life – there’s something magic about being in another country; the excitement of not knowing what to expect, learning a few sentences in a foreign language, wandering aimlessly for hours…
Part of the fun when booking a trip, is to read about the country / city I am about to visit prior to booking my holiday. I am yet to come across a good site that gives me thorough information about what to see, where to eat and party as well as good photos so that I can get a good feel for the place.
Tripwolf is a new social website packed with tons of info with free printable guides for the whole world! Tripwold is written for travellers by travellers and is backed by Europe’s largest publisher of guide books, MairDumont.
Here’s the best bit – Tripwolf is compatible with a multitude of other sites: you can add a Facebook widget to your page, share your Youtube holiday videos with the rest of the world, share and geo-tag your Flickr photos with fellow travellers or blog about your travel adventures.
If you’re looking for the cool little bar where locals hang out or that amazing street your mate told you about but that you can’t find in your guide book, check out Tripwolf as you’ll probably have the answers to your questions and even more.
I will be reviewing the site’s features in more detail over the next couple of days… stay tuned!

Well, I played around with Budapest and must admit – the main info (few pubs I wanted to find there) is really marked on the map. I think they just need to be edited more, but it’s a question of time and users adding their stuff. Navigation is baby-easy (impressed), using ratings and ‘top guru’s to make it personal (good idea), including other sources (google maps, wikipedia, flickr etc) smart. Tempted to add some info myself, just lazy:P

Just checked the video and the site very quickly, so far it looks like a mix of WAYN and Tripit – I’ll register and have a closer look. I have the feeling travel sites spawn like mushrooms these days…
Feels like they’re trying to somehow leverage the Firefox community with their name and logo… Hmm…

Good point – I hadn’t even noticed the Firefox link…
