And the opinion of the editor in all this?

Traveling alone is an incredible experience, a feeling of freedom at all times invades us, and it can become addictive. But, let’s recognize it, everyone is not made for solo trips. Even the solitaryst of travellers needs time and time, if not often, to talk, share, meet and exchange with people, especially if they have the same vision of the journey as it is.

This is what we love at Travello, this possibility of meeting, exchange with the same interests as us. This is what reassures, before the great start. And that’s what we love! On the practical side, the application is clear, simple, useful and effective even if (and you don’t want it), there are some areas of improvement to be brought. We also love the systems search and filters which makes the social network customizable . Thus, we exchange with the people we chose because they have points in common with our way of travel, our vision of the journey. Finally, one particularly appreciates the "Experience" side that teaches about on-site devices and allows for moments beyond the network.

In short, Travello makes it easy to start and makes it possible to draw true links to adventures. At Wanderlix, the application was tested. At the same time, the whole team agreed on a fact: for its unique social concept, Travello has beautiful days ahead of him.
