What is this all about?

We believe that the best travel advice comes from people you know (friends, family) and people that share similar travel interests. TripConnect is a tool to help you share your travel interests, get travel advice from people that you trust, and meet other travelers. Have a favorite travel destination? You can add a review that includes your favorite hotels, attractions, restaurants, and photos. Going somewhere soon? Get some friendly travel advice by posting a question to your friends and to your favorite travel groups. Want to meet people? Join your favorite Travel Groups or click on People to search for members that have been or want to go to a destination. You can also create a travel group that can be made public or private.
