I love to travel in cities and I love to get an “insider’s view” on what to do and see, too. I also enjoy running in other cities, so I like the idea of getting a runner’s perspective. I recently read about Jauntful, a beta website that lets you quickly and easily set up local guides and then share or print them. I asked to be invited and when I was, I set up an account.
I created a guide called Run, Eat and Smile in Chicago. It is “a runner’s guide to Chicago’s places to run and refuel when you are done.” The site lets you pick 15 points of interest per guide – so manageable. I crowdsourced nominations from my friends, fellow bloggers and running club for ideas and made this guide in about 15 minutes! The functionality is so easy. You type in the name of the place and the address/photo are prefilled. You can then create a quick description and the address populates automatically. You can rearrange your points and then publish.
The guides are simple to use once they are published. There is an icon in each box so you can see the map view. You can also download a PDF, mail it or embed it in a website. Jauntful would be awesome for a wedding or event (you can do private guides) – put the venue, church, brunch, local sites and send, print or publish on your website – for FREE!
I love this site and it is so easy to use. Be on the lookout for more guides from me. I hope some of you will build some with your faves, too, and then share them with me!
I participated in Runaway Bridal Planner’s health and fitness bloggers’ holiday and spring giveaway bloghops and when I saw another one, I signed right up! What is a a bloghop? A group of blogs who are all linked together to offer a variety of giveaways posted on all of the other blogs. Blog readers who come to one person’s blog on the list, see links to all of the others and can click to “hop” on over to the next blog. Well, you know that I love giveaways and to check out new blogs so I decided to link up again!
There are over 20 bloggers participating! The giveaways run from May 9th to May 25th. Check out my post and then use the links at the bottom of the post to see what else you can win! My giveaway includes prizes from Fruit Bliss, Nakd Bars, HB Tune and Greenlayer Sports!
