A social networking site that’s focused on traveling, on Touristlink you can share all your favorite destinations with your friends, all the attractions that are to be found in any city and (generally) all the kind of information that would let others enjoy their travels more. And you can get all that from other users of the site, of course. If you’re thinking of going somewhere you’ve never been in your life, then you can ask other travelers on the network about such a place. The idea is that you’ll create a schedule with the help of people who really know what they’re talking about, as opposed to a schedule that’s coming from some guy at a travel agency that’s never really been in the place you want to visit, and who is just interested in selling you a holiday package.

And the site even lets you enlist the help of locals that will act as your guides. Again – that’s much cheaper than hiring a “professional” tour guide, and the results can but be a lot more fulfilling.
