WorldConnect is in its very beginning stages and needs YOUR input and direction. After all it exists to provide YOU with travel inspirations, ideas, cultural awareness, language practice, worldwide contacts, and opportunities for YOU to travel abroad without breaking the bank. Think of WorldConnect as a crowdsourced venture. Together as a passionate group of young travelers we can create exactly w
hat it is we need to continue sharing in what we love, travel. WorldConnect is here to show you that world travel is not just for the rich and famous and truly is something that I believe should be enjoyed and experienced by all. There are a handful of ways to travel abroad on the cheap. To name a few: Au Pairing, Volunteer Opportunities, Work Travel Programs. Each of these coming with their own set of obstacles to maneuver through to make them a reality. Through growing an online community of not only young travelers, but expanding our community to include Host Families, World-Wide organizations, relief efforts, and anything of the like, we are together building an endless database of rewarding travel opportunities. A community dedicated to the enrichment of lives world wide. Doesn't that sound like something you would like to take part in?
*WorldConnect In a Nutshell*
Essentially WorldConnect will be a social network. Something like a Facebook, but catered towards cultural exchange. Users will be able to create in-depth profiles highlighting themselves, their interests, goals, needs, travel plans, and much more. Users can then begin connecting with each other, and build off of one another to achieve their travel related goals. This could range from finding a pen-pal for the sake of language practice, connecting with locals in the city you're visiting, or even full on exchange opportunities such as Au Pairing. Host families, Organizations in need of Volunteers, and others that fall into a similar category would create "Host" profiles. Their profiles would state the type of work they need done, what they are offering in exchange for this work, the duration of time the exchange will last, and what exactly they are looking for in the person they choose to host as well as any specific requirements they might have for them. Users and Hosts would be able to establish relationships through the WorldConnect social platform so that the best possible match can be made giving way to the most positive experience for both sides. In a nutshell, that is the focus of WorldConnect, as of this moment that is. The great thing about this stage of WorldConnect and this promotional page is that you can help shape WorldConnect into the best possible thing it could be for you! Your ideas and feedback are encouraged. Together we can create something amazing, together we will create WorldConnect. Lets do this!
