Site Review: The Travel Advisor

The Travel Advisor is just that, an interesting site with travel advice about many issues connected with travel. The landing page makes it easy to negotiate the site with plenty of photos and featured items. The site is open to any travelers who want to write about their travel experiences, write reviews or offer travel advice. All you need to do is register using your Facebook account then start building your post by adding a Google map of the thing you are writing about, a gallery and featured photos. This offers great opportunities to those who want to write about or review a travel related thing but don't want to go to all the bother of starting their own blog. Those that join the site can also make use of the site forum for chatting with other travelers and getting advice from those who have been-there and done-that. If you aren't interested in writing on the site but are just looking for useful travel advice then you can browse the reviews and articles according to categories including: hotels, natural phenomena, tourist attractions and travel agencies.

The cleverly named site (clever as it is so similar to the mother of all travel advise sites – TripAdvisor) is a useful stop on your way to planning your next trip. The site will give you ideas about where to go and what to see but most importantly the advice comes from fellow travelers with real experience and up-to-date information.
