Mashable’s Spark of Genius series highlights a unique feature of startups. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, see details here. The series is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark.
Name: Globetrooper
Quick Pitch: Globetrooper is a social travel platform, where people build trips and travel the globe together.
Genius Idea: Coordinating trips with friends can be a difficult endeavor, given conflicts in work schedules, budgets and destination preferences. But if you’re not too particular about who you travel with — or if you’d like to make some new friends — you might want to check out Globetrooper while planning your next trip.
Globetrooper is a social platform for aspiring travelers to design trips and find others to travel with them. You can post a trip outlining your dates and preferences for others to join, or browse the roughly 100 trips already listed on the site. Users can also leave comments on each others’ trips with suggestions for places to stay and sites to see. Trips are ranked by Difficulty, Culture Shock, Remoteness and Risk on a scale of 1-5.
The site also sports great browsing and search functionality. You can search for trips by keyword, or browse trips by region or activity, from “Overland & Safari” to “Scuba & Snorkeling” and “Food/Wine Touring.”
Unsurprisingly, the site seems to attract serious adventuring enthusiasts (want to climb Mount Everest, anyone?) by and large, although there are plenty of Aussies seeking traveling mates on their European tours as well. If you’re looking to discover a remote region with knowledgable and resourceful people, Globetrooper should prove a great resource.
What do you think of the platform? Would you ever use a service like Globetrooper to find and meet a travel buddy?
