Today marks the 3 year anniversary that TripAtlas.com has been online. In that time we've accomplished some pretty amazing things. Here's a look back at some stuff we've done in the past 3 years:
- TripAtlas PRO - the most comprehensive online platform for travel, tourism and hospitality industry professionals to list their businesses and meet millions of travellers and customers on TripAtlas.com.
- TripAtlas.com Trip Builder - our free, interactive trip planning service that allows travellers to enter their trip itineraries which are then made available to our database of over 96,000 TripAtlas PROs who can help plan their trip.
- TripAtlas.com Hotel Finder with over 226,000 hotels worldwide. Find a hotel anywhere in the world and get instant room rates and price comparisons from over 30 of the top travel booking sites, ensuring you get the best deal online.
- TripAtlas Storytellers - an online platform for travel writers, photographers & bloggers to contribute stories and photos on TripAtlas.com and get paid along the way. To date we have over 50 Storytellers contributing and are always on the lookout for talented new Storytellers to join the team.
- TripAtlas Newsletter. It might not sound like much but maintaining a good newsletter is no easy task. Especially one that goes out weekly to nearly 80,000 subscribers with fresh travel stories, deals and photos.
These are just a few things we're really happy about and hopefully you like them as much as we do.
We're also hard at work on some cool new stuff here in the lab that we look forward to sharing with you soon. Stay tuned.
Nothing would be possible without the great team here at TripAtlas and the support from all our friends, family and you.
Thanks!
The TripAtlas Team

Beyond Machu Picchu, Peru's Northern Coast
Peru's undisputed king of tourism is Machu Picchu. Millions of people each year go to Peru to see the ancient temple and ruins. To only visit Peru for Machu Picchu is like going to New York just for the Statue of Liberty. Being the third largest country in South America, there is...
Camping alone in Big Bend National Park, Texas
When I told people my plan to camp alone for a week in the desert backcountry of Big Bend National Park, along the Mexico border in Texas, some handled it better than others. Most often it was people who consider swimming in the ocean adventurous that couldn't quite grasp the purpose....
The Scarborough Bluffs
This shot was taken about 20 minutes away from my Toronto house at a place called the Scarborough Bluffs , which is basically still Toronto. Who knew you could find a setting like this here?
Toronto is known more for its gritty, urban scene than its natural beauty and I hardly believed...
Mixology is an art at Wynn, Las Vegas
I used to think the term "mixology" was something bartenders made up to sound bona fide. Like how weathermen and women refer to themselves as "meteorologists", only instead of predicting the weather they concoct potions to make your food tastier, your date look better and, after too much,...
Photos from San Francisco
What a city for photography. The architecture and natural landscape is just so unique and interesting. The only real newer buildings I saw were in the downtown financial district, which is dominated by skyscrapers and office buildings. Step outside of the core though and you're...
Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco
Most cities worth their salt have at least 3 iconic neighbourhoods. It's sort of the barometer for what elevates a city past "interesting" and into "unmistakable". New York has Greenwich, Little Italy, Times Square, among many others. Toronto has Church-Wellesley, Yorkville and...
Most Luxurious Destination of 2010: Sandals Emerald Bay, Bahamas
Sandals Emerald Bay, Exuma - Rated the Most Luxurious Destination visited by TripAtlas.com in 2010
The Exumas is a chain of 365 cays and islands that make up roughly half of the islands known as The Bahamas. With a backdrop of vivid aquamarine on a pedestal of soft white sand, it's...
Grand Cayman: Probably not what you expect
Before, when I would think of the Cayman Islands, I'd think of gilded lamp posts lining marble sidewalks that were occupied by a dichotomous mix of the über rich and the fanny-pack army of cruise patrons on shore leave. I wasn't writing the place off, it just wasn't at the top...

Review of American Express Gold Rewards Card
Travel can be expensive. Flights, hotels, car rentals, tours, meals - it all adds up. Quick. Sure, it doesn't have to be expensive, but it can and often is.
For example, you could stay at a hostel instead of a luxury resort. Instead of flying direct you could grab the seat next to the...
