Traverous – Record, Share and Relive your Journeys

Traverous Tell inspiring travel stories

A few weeks ago, a friend came back from a road trip to Grindelwald, Switzerland. He shared a dazzling video of his trip. I was simply amazed. The video was actually a bird-eye view of his route in animated style. Much like footage by a drone following you. But it also showed the selfies and video glimpses he took while traveling. The app he used is called Traverous. So, I set out to explore more.

 

 

Traverous is an automated travel journal app. “Automated”, because it requires minimum effort from your side to put together your travel journals. Unlike traditional travel journal apps; where you have to resort to the old ways of jotting down every place you visit and a boring method of pinning photos on a static map.

Traverous is also a social community of travelers. You can connect with other travelers, share your travel journals and watch travel journal videos of other travelers to get inspiration for the next places you wanna visit. The Traverous app is available for Android and iPhone.

Travel Feed

When you login to the app, your app’s home shows the Travel Feed, it is where you can watch and interact with video travel journals of other travelers who shared their videos with Traverous community.
