YowTrip.com - Find Travel Buddies

If you're looking to take a trip somewhere on your own, you may want to hit up some other travelers who have already been there for advice. Maybe you could even meet up with them once you get there and have them show you the ropes.

Even better, they might even become your travel buddy to your next destination. This is exactly the type of connection you can make at YowTRIP, a new traveling social network devoted to bringing travelers togethers in a borderless fashion. It works very similarly to CouchSurfing; you can create your profile complete with photos of you and a log of the trips you've taken or plan to take, and tell the YowTRIP community a little about yourself. Then, you'll want to start making some connections. Use YowTRIP's search feature to find friends by city, country, email, travel dates, or age. Buddies on YowTRIP can do anything from meeting up with you for a drink to giving you a place to crash while you're leading your nomadic lifestyle. You can interact with your buddies via the YowTRIP messaging service or directly by email (keep in mind you'll have to register for an account to see most travelers' info).
