About

TravelingSession.com is different from most travel websites.  We believe travel should be about the traveler, not the destination.  So, we designed a new way to share travel experiences.   The simplest explanation would be "A social media website centered around travel," but that barely scratches the surface.  Our proprietary review system, personalized experience, and intuitive map interfaces revolutionize how people share and discover travel experiences.  We're blending technology and community to enhance your travel experience.

Here is a scenario to help explain the concept.

Let's say you wanted to buy a shirt.  So, you go online and find a shirt you might like.  What's the first thing you do?  Check the reviews.  Let's say the shirt has 1,000 5-star reviews.  That means it's a good shirt, right?

What happens if everyone that gave the shirt a 5-star review is tall and wears the shirt tucked?  But you're short, and you want to wear the shirt untucked.  Do you see the problem?  The reviews focus on the shirt, not the person buying the shirt.  In the same way, most travel websites focus on the destination.

So, how do we solve this issue?  We took a three-phase approach.  
First, we had to reimagine travel reviews.  So, we started with a destination rating and review system that gives each traveler a unique score for each location.  

The next challenge was personalizing the experience.  That led to designing community profiles and travel portfolios where travelers can adjust their preferences and display reviews, videos, and photos.

Finally, since the site centers on travel, it should have a geographical interface.  So, a lot of the user experience focuses on the maps.  For instance, you can use the map to filter posts in the feed.
