ABOUT US

 

We are a group of people who love to visit new places, experience new things and generally have a good time doing it!

What inspired us to create this site was that when planning an adventure we wanted it to be as easy as possible to organise our time indulging in activities and where we wanted to stay.

Being pretty simple people, we were constantly frustrated with current travel information sites who

Would list accommodation in an area in no particular order (backpackers in the centre of town would be followed by one 20km’s away and then next would be back in the centre of town!)

Their marketing blurbs for each entry would only be a couple of lines, with one or two accompanying pictures. You then had to go through to their site to get more info and actually see what the place looked like (more time eaten away!) We’re pretty visual people and no matter what the well written marketing blurb said about each entry, it was the image/ how the place activity looked that made us decide whether to consider adding it to our travel list.

When trying to plan where our next stop on the adventure would be we found we needed maps as most sites list everything in no particular order.

After spending hours sorting through all the above, we ended up with copious notes which we then had to put into some kind of order.

 

So what’s different with our site?

  • All activities and accommodation are numbered in ascending order spreading out from the main arrival centres.

Our site will help you easily plan where your next stop will be!

  • All entries have basic contact details, a number of images, a quick reference map and are in geographical order. If you like the look of it, you simply link directly through to their website to make your final decision.

 

  • Your own personal MY TRIP planner.

Each time you find an entry you would like to refer back to, simply click on the MY TRIP icon and it will transfer the details to your personalised travel planner.

Everything in one place where you can fine tune at your heart’s desire, and either print out or email for reference when you eventually embark on your adventure.

 

We consider this site to be an evolving entity and would welcome any suggestions you may have to enhance our offering.
