Friday Finds: Share Your Travels and Map Them, Too + More!

WRCWq_0L_400x400I love to take pictures and share stories from my trips. You have seen them here and on my social media. Tripcast offers a new way to document your travels on the go and to stay in touch with people, too. You can invite your travel companions to add to the journal and share their experiences, too! Tripcast is travel journal for iOS, Android and via the web. Create a “trip” and post pictures, videos, notes, and locations from your travels for friends and family to see as you go.

If you’re traveling with others, you can invite them to add pictures of their own to the same trip. Everything is geotagged, so you can search your photos and videos based on location. I love the idea that your readers can interact with your content and ask questions and comment. So cool!

Tripcast stores information in the cloud, you can download everything when you get back.  I can’t wait to try this. One more reason that I need to plan a fall trip! You can download it free on iOS or Android.


While you are at it, 19b6581508b9824174d435e209bc3405_400x400you can also use Pin Drop to remember all of the places you love all over the world or right at home. This is also a simple way to bookmark points on a map. You just drop a pin on the locations you want to remember.

Pin Drop is “your collection of places and addresses for work and play.” It helps you make lists of locations that you can tag by a category or theme. You can add notes, images, audio and even video files. You can share with your contacts if you want to recommend anywhere to go, or things to see and do. You can also keep your account private to store locations for your own use.

I love this idea! This can help avoid the old hours of “Where was that place again? Is this the one? Is that the one?” Perfect. You can download it free on iOS and Android.
