Site feature: Trazzler.com

I stumbled upon Trazzler.com at the beginning of this month, and thought the site idea was really interesting. Yes, it's another in a slew of travel sites that have been popping up lately, but Trazzler is focused more on conveying the experience of a moment rather than guidebookish, statistic-filled writing. As the company writes on its About page, "Trazzler places you emotionally into specific moments and locales all over the planet and helps you explore the limitless travel opportunities our world has to offer."

So as part of the signup deal (which is free, by the way), it offers suggestions of activities nearby, phrased as actions and not as places. And travel is really about doing, not seeing, right?

I've signed up as a writer and written a couple of trips just to test the waters, drawing on some of my experiences while I was in Europe. It's made me take a whole new look at travel writing, so expect to see some more up as I find the time over the next few weeks.
