Wanderfly

My friends have launched their “travel inspiration” service Wanderfly today. Co-founded by Evan Schneyer, Christy Liu, and Cezary Pietrzak, “Wanderfly answers this basic question: ‘Where can I go?'” This guide shows you even more places to visit in Australia

Just enter your departure city, budget, approximate time frame, location (if you know a general vicinity, i.e., “Europe,” or you can be completely spontaneous and leave it defaulted to “Anywhere”), and interests (casino, eco, food, culture, outdoors, romance, shopping, spa, party, beach, entertainment, and/or luxury). “Get Going,” and the system will recommend custom-tailored locations along with flight and hotel options and a collection of things to do pulled in from services such as Foursquare, Yelp, Eventful, Nile Guide, Find. Eat. Drink, and Lonely Planet.
