Trippy.com – Help Friends When They Travel

It is true that planning a vacation trip involves a great deal of previous investigation. And that this investigation is a cause of great head aches more often than not. The amount of sources you may find can drive you crazy quite easily. But Trippy.com might be a very good solution to take away the stress of what was intended as a pleasurable activity from the start.

What Trippy does is give you an internet platform to rely on friends’ recommendations for the place or places you want to visit. Planning your journey based on the suggestions of those who are close to you and who know or live in that place, will give you a more real feel about it than a standard touristic package. Although in this latter option you can also get to know wonderful sites, the commerce driven touristic industry can leave you out of more affordable places to stay or to eat that are just as good. Sometimes even better.

Besides, your friends know you, so they will take your likes and dislikes into account for the ideas they will suggest. Maybe you don’t like sea food although the place where you are going is full of restaurants that serve it, so someone will tell you where to eat great pasta or pizzas, which are your favourite dishes and are harder to find there.

Trippy.com works in a very user friendly way. You must log in using your Facebook account, and describe the trip you want to make. The site will search automatically for users who live, work, or have visited that place some time. Once they get an alert about your plans, they will be able to suggest lodging, interesting sites, and their favorite places such as pubs, restaurants or nightclubs.

You can also invite friends to make suggestions using other platforms like Twitter, and although they’ll need to have a Facebook account too, you don’t have to have them as friends for them to give you their ideas on your trip. There’s an app for your iPhone available too, which you can find on the corresponding link when you visit Trippy.com.
