Wanderlust.

A posting from Poetry Café

Everyone knows the urge for experiencing something new once in a while: a new culture, a new continent, new people around the globe. As work is dominating our everyday life or insufficent finances don’t allow for big journeys it’s not always possible to give in and travel to nice places. But now we have a new option: the iPhone app ‘Wander’ makes it possibe to find new people around the world and get to know them and their culture without leaving the city you live in.

Once you’re registered and have accepted a guide (note: if you don’t like the first suggestion and skip it, you’ll have to wait another day for the next suggestion), the app connects the two of you together for a week with photo-based missions. For example, the app will suggest you take pictures of your daily routines such as what you ate for lunch that day, how you travel to work or what your favorite store is. After taking the pictures, you and your guide drop them into the conversation thread so that you can share and discuss the differences and similarities in your countries.

Of course we are already registered – we are looking forward to a week full of foreign inspiration :-)
