WHERE’S COOL is a new online community for travelers, with a specific focus on travel reviews of the places that your mom probably wouldn’t find useful, as mentioned on the front page. Though it’s in Alpha stage, but users are allowed to register with the site at this moment and start the travel reviews for some cool spots such as the record shops, dive bars, hostels, live music and underground local attractions, etc.
Currently, there are several destinations from Taipei, Taiwan to Kraków, Poland have been reviewed by the users, and each review is detailed with photos, text reviews, and geo-tagging in order to provide a comprehensive travel recommendations for other users who want to plan their next vacation to the same travel destination. Of course, users can also comment and rate others’ travel experiences. Nevertheless, if you are the type of person who is the free and easy traveler and like the local adventure, you’ll find this site most useful for this purpose.
In overall, WHERE’S COOL is a site for discovering local information. For instance, when I been in Taiwan and traveled as a free and easy traveler, some photos listed there urges me to go there for a second look such as this Shilin Night Market which I missed the food so much. As the site still in Alpha, I hope this site can make to the mainstream so that people can have another place to share their travel experiences and places of interest.
