NEW to the web in January of this year, Trekaroo is "the fun way to get the inside scoop on traveling with children. With thousands of kid-friendly activities and places to stay, Trekaroo is the resource for parents to find reviews, get tips, ask questions, and connect with like-minded travelers around the world. Trekaroo exists to be a place where families inspire and equip other families to travel and explore the world."
This site is a perfect place to share your travel experiences, filter through other families' travel experiences, share tips on traveling with kids, book vacations, ask questions or write reviews about your favorite (or not so favorite) places and why.
You can also read Trekaroo's Blog, find them on facebook, or follow them on twitter.
Currently they have a contest going on (we'd LOVE to win!!) - heck, it's worth a try! We recommend visiting Trekaroo and seeing what you can learn and how fun it can be to contribute. You'll soon be trekking around with your little ones, with the comfort of the experience and knowledge of other families like yours.
We think this is a REALLY cool, unique, useful website, especially for those wanting to plan a family trip, and get all the details squared away pre-trip.
As stated from Nicole of NileGuide "NileGuide is a do-it-yourself trip planning website that enables you to research and create a customized guidebook for your trip. Once you choose a destination, you can research restaurants, lodging, nightlife, and things to do and see by clicking on the "food", "lodging", "nightlife" and "see & do" tabs under the large DISCOVER tab a the top of the page. Our site can be particularly useful for families who travel. Using the personal filtering tools in the preferences section of each search page, you can check the 'kid friendly' box to display family friendly activities, restaurants, and lodging in the area."
Nicole further explains "when you see an activity of interest to you, simply click on the "+" symbol in order to add it to your trip. Once you are done researching your trip, click on "Plan your Trip" tab to organize activities in your itinerary, and create your own custom guidebook. Plus, you can share and collaborate on your trip with other friends and family."
How cool is that?! Brilliant in our opinion! With destinations in the U.S., and around the world, there is 'local' expertise from all over. Each 'trip building' area has some excellent overviews and brief histories of each area, photos and more. It's fun just to "PRETEND" to get ready for a trip!
Best part? This is a FREE service, part of a 'stimulus' travel bill so to speak.
