gtrot is now on Tumblr! We’ve decided to create a Tumblr blog for the fun stuff like travel inspiration and wanderlust. Don’t worry, we’ll keep posting here too. Tumblr will be for everything we wish we could post, so prepare your dashboards for a destination overload. Are you on Tumblr? Feel free to send us your links! Head over to gtrot’s Tumblr now for your daily dosage of all things travel.
Happy Travels!
For those of you who follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook, you’ve noticed that every Wednesday we have a Mystery Photo Contest. We post a photo from an interesting place and the first person to correctly guess where the photo was taken wins! The winner gets a special gtrot prize pack! Our prizes in the past have included tons of gtrot stickers, travel guides, travel books, t-shirts and more! Today’s Mystery Photo will come later this afternoon. Be sure to stay tuned each Wednesday for different Mystery Photos from around the world.
Here are a few of our previous Mystery Photos:

gtrot is excited to announce a new Twitter initiative, “Wander Weekends”. Wander Weekends will be a weekly event hosted by gtrot every Monday. It will be a recap of what people did for the weekend: where they traveled, what they explored in their city, etc. The travel world is adding Monday to its weekly roster of events. The event is open to everyone and we’re extending an invite to you first. For the first few weeks, there will not be any questions, we simply want you to use the hashtag #wwkds when tweeting about what you did the previous weekend. #wwkds will take place from 2 p.m. EST to 4 p.m. EST. We want you to share your weekends with us and the travel community! If you’d like to be one of the hosts of #wwkds in the future, please email our Community Manager Kamaria at kamaria[at]gtrot.com. Now, tell us what you did this past weekend if you can remember! Happy travels!
We had a great time participating in Techweek COMPETE! gtrot’s co-founders Brittany and Zach chatted with lots of people throughout the day. We gave out gtrot stickers, candy and inflatable globes! We made it to the Top 5, but we didn’t win COMPETE. Congratulations to BabbaCo! Here are a few pictures from the day at the booth:
