in a very elegant way and access them and reflect on your trips anytime you want.
+Person 4 (+Male College student, McGill, European living in Canada, Economics and History Major)
As an international studend he travels once or twice a year to see his family and travels for leisure a few times per year.
Rarely uses guide books. Instead he currently uses google to browse around the internet for recommendations and visits Yahoo answers, Trip Advisor, etc.
He mentioned that there is so much information in the web, that even though it is tedious to go through it, it is pretty exhaustive. As a young, college student, he says that for him the layout of the information / website would be crucial to convince him to use the website. He does see value in condensing much of the information that there is out in the internet, and he likes that with this website, only people that are interested in your trips would be the ones with access to the information. He would like to share his fun trips, favourite venues, etc. with his friends, especially if the website is fun, but he stressed he would like simplicity of navigation.
Finally he added that in his opinion, the amount of information gathered is what is crucial. It doesn't help if you don't have friends that travel often so user's should be given the option to submit their review publicly and to view public data, though he agrees it would be nice if privacy was the default.
