Looks great. I typically user TripAdvisor for my travel research but this looks great. TA is a bit cluttered and sometimes hard to find exactly what you are looking for. I like how the person's trip is grouped together.

Because of this grouping, I would suggest 'tags' for the trips. For example, someone could tag a Toronto trip with "sports" or "hockey". Their trip might include a trip to the hockey hall of fame, a Leafs game, a trip to the old Maple Leaf Gardens (now a grocery store). These tags could be pre-determined by yourself, or user submitted. This way, if I am going to Paris for example, and I see a trip that is tagged "Music", and I'm not into a music trip, then I know I should look at someone else's trip for Paris. Thinking about this though, perhaps each destination within a trip/country could be tagged since trips often have multiple events with multiple 'tags'. Sorry, I'm just rambling a bit. I think you get the idea though.

I'll be submitting a few reviews though. Good work!

Hi giarc, i always ad the thought to add in 'activities' or 'tags' later on. But, the more i think about it the more important it becomes to implement as soon as possible. The big question i need to answer is if they are predefined or user submitted (as you mentioned in your post). If it just activities then pre-defined would be ok (there are only so many activities you can do).But, if I want a user to be able to tag just about anything (for example a user went to a basketball game and wants to tag a place with 'miamivsdallas') then it must be user defined. Do you have any more thoughts on this?
