G'day Fulton, BootsnAll has always been about connecting people with a love for travel, and as technology has changed and grown, so have we. So we're excited to announce our newest development, a Facebook application that helps you find other travelers – not just your current Facebook friends – so you can connect with locals and other travelers headed to the same destination!
Of course, an application like this is only as good as the people who use it, and since we think you're all pretty awesome, we would love to have you check it out, so please sign up - and if you have friends or family who travel and would benefit and enjoy connecting with others, please share it with them. We think meeting people is one of the best parts of travel and using the BootsnAll Traveler Connect can help you get the inside scoop on a place, connect with some locals who live there and have some unique experiences not found in any guidebook.
