Sure, there are plenty of social networking sites out there where you can play online scrabble with your friends or tell them what you are up to today, but creating a TripAdvisor traveler network is different. Having a traveler network will help you plan your trips better and smarter by getting advice from people you trust.

The traveler network gives you the ability to connect to other travelers - such as your friends, family or other TripAdvisor members - and instantly see their travel map, reviews, goLists, photos and videos. In addition, you will see their contributions featured first on destination and hotel pages as you browse TripAdvisor. You benefit by connecting with people you know who have been where you want to go.
