ROUNDABOUT TRAVEL

EXPLORE / JOURNAL / SHARE

About Us

Roundabout is a travel and destination collaboration space amongst friends and family.

We are so excited to provide this service for our friends and family to collaborate about their travels.

We have always found that the best advice we receive when visiting a new city or country is from friends. For one, it is honest and unfiltered. They will let you know what they did and did not enjoy. Secondly, you know them, their tastes, etc… which provide context for the advice they give. Some friends are luxury travelers, other enjoy finding the hidden awesome less extravagant places. It all is helpful and ultimately provides the best reference when planning a trip.

This is also intended as a resource for our members to journal their travels: what they liked, where they stayed, ate, and how they got from place to place. You can store names of service providers (tour guides, car services, etc…) for later reference. Also, it is a place to post pictures that help explain the journey and insights.

Overall, we hope that this becomes your first place you look when planning a trip. I know we will all love seeing each other’s adventures and collaborating in a private, friendly place to better our adventures going forward.

Become a Member

There are two ways to become a member of Roundabout

  1. Have a friend nominate you into their circle
  2. Create a new circle of friends

You can belong to multiple circles.  Any information you add about your travels can be kept private or made available to your circle (king of the whole point!).

No information will be availalble outside of your circle!!!   This is not Yelp or Trip Advisor.  We want you to have a place to post honest information about your experiences without the fear of harsh comments or advertising targeting.

 

 

Journal and Share

Roundabout is your resource to journal your travels.  Keep notes on:

  • Hotels / Rentals
  • Restaurants
  • Excursions and Places

For each of these you can add ratings and comments.  This will be for your reference, and if you make it sharable with your circle, a reference for friends as well.

You can journal your travels by day and location. All of your information will be private to just you or your circle(s).
