How to Travel the World for Free

Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:29:33 -0400

Today we’re taking a break from our California Dreamin’ to check out Michael Wigge, whose amazing project “How to Travel the World for Free” just aired on PBS in August. We just heard about his story today and are excited to share it with you!

You can pick up Wigge’s book, How to Travel the World for Free, on TheCopia.com for $4.99 and find out how he traveled 25,000 miles from Germany to Antarctica for free! Read about how Wigge was able to find food, shelter, and travel without any money and maybe you’ll be inspired to try it out, too!

Check out videos and learn more about how Michael Wigge traveled the World for free on his website: www.howtotraveltheworldforfree.com.

Copia Excursion Discovery: Gogobot.com

Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:44:47 -0400

The travel writers at Copia Excursion were very excited to discover GoGoBot.com and its iPhone app this past weekend!

Based on just a couple of days of use, we’re thinking that this might just be the be-all-end-all of travel planning websites! You get a digital passport that holds all the places that you’ve been (locations) and then all the things that you did while you were there! You write recommendations/reviews and then people can see those and they can help them to plan a trip. It also has a trip planner feature, where you can be on the receiving end of that kind of advice as you plan your own trip. It creates little maps and guides for you. Boom!

Like FourSquare and Yelp, as you review and make custom destination guides, you get badges! What is it about these digital badges that is just so appealing? We don’t know, but we want more badges!

Here are some screen shots of our first time out on GoGoBot.com!

What do you think? Helpful? Or do you use another website when planning trips?
