Trazzler gives you multiple options for your travel lust

by Sherry on August 24th, 2008

Trazzler is a great multi-method website that can give you different ways to figure out where to travel.

You begin by creating your account which lists the area in which you live. From there, Trazzler will give you some suggestions for weekend trips, answering the basic question “where should I go?” The site will give you dozens of ideas for places to see that are close to home. In the browsing mode, you can narrow down the list by specifying what type of getaway you’re looking for - beach visit, fun festival, etc.

From there you can create two lists - one is a list of places that you’ve been that you enjoyed (if you’re a beach bunny and hated the one trip you took wilderness camping, don’t include it and such getaways won’t be suggested). Then create a wishlist, all the places you would love to go some day.

The more you grow your wishlist and list of places that you’ve seen, the more Trazzler can understand what kind of traveler you are. Then the site will be able to give you personalized recommendations of where you might enjoy going (that part is still under development but will be available soon).

The site will be able to find you any number of vacations, whether you’re seeking a culinary adventure, small town lodging, a city full of exciting architecture, or adventure holidays.

I created an account to try it out. When I entered my Montreal location and narrowed the field down to “beach” (it’s all about the sand and surf for me!), Trazzler gave me a huge selection of beach getaways from Ontario to New Hampshire, to Maine, to Rhode Island. They all sound good to me!

They’re promising more developments in time, so be sure to visit Trazzler often to see what’s next!
