Wanderland

“You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!” ― Dr. Seuss

We love planning travel and seeing new places to go in the world. There is a recurrent problem with internet wanderlust though.You probably know what I'm talking about if you've ever experienced something like this:

You decide your going travelling... for whatever reason... to say India.
So what should you do there? Well you know you want to see some tigers! So you google "where to see tigers in India".
You get back results like this one: holidify.com. It is a list of places that you've have never heard of before and have absolutely no point of reference for.
So what you do is...
- Copy the name of a place that sounds interesting to you from holidify.com
- Open up another tab and navigate to google maps
- Paste the name of the place and search to see where it is
- Repeat a-c for every place you're interested in
Jot down in some notes somewhere the places your interested in to keep track of them
Send the notes to your friends you're travelling with so they can add to it. They have to repeat the process you went through...
Search across the web for more info on the places you're going to like pictures, facts, festivals ...
