What is Travellerspoint?Travellerspoint is a website that joins people who

share a love of traveling together. On the website, members can interact and share their stories,

pictures, and advice with others.

"The goal of Travellerspoint is to create an international meeting point for travellers worldwide, whether they are planning their travels,

currently travelling or have returned from their travels and want to stay in touch with (or find) those travel friends they met while travelling in the

past."

The History of Travellerspoint

• The idea of Travellerspoint came about in a MSN Messenger chat in 2002.

!• The two creators both traveled a lot

during their lives and thought of creating a website that made it possible to keep in touch with people they met on their

travels. !

• Three months after their MSN Messenger chat, Travellerspoint was launched.

About Kiva

Conclusion"Travellerspoint's objective is to enrich the travelling experience by offering

numerous services, content and products that have significant perceived and added value for travellers worldwide. To travel means to meet other people, experience their cultures and to make, but also to keep good friends. By bringing more people together

everyone to travel in."
