timeBlend.com is the newest online community helping travellers connect, share plans and find inspiration for their next adventure.
Launched in July, 2013, the digital start-up based in Sydney, has already been tipped by the New York Times as a valuable online network for travellers.
For solo travellers, joining the timeBlend community is a new way to share travel experiences, save money and travel safer.
Users sign-up for free and then share their trip plans on timeBlend for others to ‘Join’ in or ‘Follow’.
Those looking to get travel advice can also search a catalogue of ‘Places’. From cities and museums, to hostels and bars, timeBlend is a goldmine of traveller pictures, inspiration and tips.
timeBlend Founder, Pierrick Ganon said, “We always hear that people want to travel but are held back because they don’t have anyone to travel with. timeBlend makes it easy for people to find travel companions, share costs and have a more enriching cultural experience’’.
Pierrick is a Sydney-based web developer with a keen passion for travel. Growing up on the French island, Réunion, Pierrick moved to Australia in 2004 to complete a Bachelor of Computer Science and Internet Computing. Pierrick later went on to work as a Developer for Facilitate Digital and GoFundraise before resigning his day job in late 2012 to create timeBlend.
The site is available in English, French and Spanish, with plans for further International translation. timeBlend was also recently adapted for mobile browsing, with a smart phone app on the horizons.
Currently in development is timeBlend ‘Experiences’, which will be a marketplace for unique travel experiences created by locals.
timeBlend is the only online travel network of its kind that is free for users. The site is open for anyone to join, all over the world.
Whether planning or simply dreaming, timeBlend serves as a rich resource for travel networking, ideas and inspiration.
