Wanderfly, I want to #travel to…

I was very impressed with Wanderfly, although it is still in beta. I think it will have a bright future ahead.

Here is why I like it:

You can enter your budget for traveling, when and where you are departing from.
You can select the mood you are interested in - outdoor adventure, beach, snow, etc.
It will provide for you short intro of the destination, photos, map twitter feed on the destination, weather and your friends. It will soon feature the currency data, destination review and travel tips. (I’m wondering if it will pull data from TripAdvisor)
If you are comfortable in allowing Wanderfly to pull data from your Facebook, most importantly is your friends data. It will provide you a quick preview on which friend do you have on that particular destination you are visiting. (I do am sure I have friends in Toronto, not sure why the data is not displaying)
Will also recommend flights (data pulled from Kayak) and hotels (data pulled from Expedia Affiliate Network).
Will also give you estimate how much money it will cost you.
Finally at the bottom are photo list of activities you might enjoy, organized by category. It pulls up data from multiple source such as Yelp, Foursquare, Lonely Planet, Nile Guide and others.

This tool is almost similar like Tripit, but different. Design and interface wise I Wanderfly more and simplicity to use. You can record your trips or just simply use it to plan your holiday. It really is a very handy and easy to use tool. The ideas and creativity behind it is genius, design wise hands down more interesting than other trip planners. By far I think their integration all in one place is the best I’ve seen.
