Planning another trip to Berlin

August 11, 2008

Planning and preparation is as always an essential element in the success of any endeavor including a trip. I’ve been traveling a lot lately with family and I can say that half of it weren’t maximized to its fullest because we didn’t plan ahead. Because of that, we missed several important destinations and sites to see and visit. Traveling on a limited time can also badly affect the whole trip as we always have to hurry from one place to another, without really relishing the place and its beauty or history.

Because we plan to go back to Berlin within this month, I am looking for travel websites where I can get travel information on the place we’re visiting. One site that I am currently looking at is GeckoGo. It is still a new travel site but the people running it are experienced travelers who have traveled to many continents in the world and have the passion to share their interesting travel stories. In fact, anybody can join their network of travelers by signing up for a free account and viola! You get to share your stories and the places you’ve visited too. From what I’ve read so far, the members are having a great deal of fun in this site.

Anyway, I’ve done my research assignment and thanks to GeckGo’s travel tips from their members, I now have an important information at hand; from Caitlyn sharing on the free walking tours in Berlin meeting in Pariser Platz every day. It would have been better if she mentioned what time they meet but the nice thing with GeckGo is that, it allows me to send a message to Caitlyn, thus I can ask her my question. That is, if I sign up with them.
