TRIPPIN’ OUT

Live Demo

Trippin’ Out is a social travelling Facebook application

Main use case reminder: Planning a trip to any location in the world, finding new

travel mates along the way.

The benefits over existing solutions: Native social interaction - A wide solution that doesn’t

require signing up and fully integrates with the leading social network - future milestones will include filtering by age, gender, spoken languages and more.

Flexibility in creating attractions by users, and in the future milestones, schedule recurring attractions.

Solution not confined to a country / continent etc.

Endless possibilities to integrate outside sources - weather, flights, hotels etc.
