Skipping the grid requires few things: cash, clothes, tooth brush and camera to snap a gig or so full of memories. But then what to do with all those pictures? There’s the “I’ve just traveled to Angkor Wat, Vientiane, and Bangkok for good measure, so where do I go next route”, ie, the lazy, “I’ve done it, let’s move on” approach.
Then there’s the flickr, twitter, Facebook, IGoUGo sharing method. For you crafty old skool types, there’s scrap booking and collaging and creating elaborate photo walls. Or you could just try a new approach: Planet Eye. Planet Eye is for those who have traveled to share their well worn pics of exotic locales and pretty cobbled streets. But it also works for those who want a peek at the world but either don’t have the funds to go or haven’t quite decided where to go. It’s a new kind of travel guide. The premise is simple—upload your pics to Planet Eye and type in the address and location. Congrats! You’ve officially added to the Planet Eye travel guide. All photos are geotagged. Local experts are available and fellow travelers add insight and can field any questions you may have. You can ‘clip’ articles and photos and put them into your own Travel Pack for future reference. Go ahead, explore the world.
