New-age travel

Turn Here is only a glimpse into how we will plan oru future trips. (Via Springwise )
Turnhere.com is somewhere between a travel channel, a travel guide and a website. The website offers 2-5 minute long films on cool places globally — meant to give you a glimpse into the local life, style and essence of the city you *may* consider visiting or vacationing at.

It is not meant to replace travel guides — it simply fills the space between the formentioned mediums that seem to be our only resources for planning a trip. We are picky consumers and we are used to having information on our fingertips (even if that means slightly controlling the element of surprise) This was in the coming, no?

I love the idea. Although I’m not planning a trip for a while, I’m lovin’ simply browsing through the videos. (They are of superior quality!)

Check it out and tell me what you think!

  1. pfffft!

    thanks for confusing me entirely, with those fantastic videos.

    Now I’m absolutely muddled as to where I’m supposed to go for the long weekend.

    sob.

  2. Hi,

    Nice blog!

    Why don’t you consider writing about some of the new “India 2.0” sites that are creating a little buzz as well?

    Eg: http://www.ilaaka.com

    http://www.onyomo.com

    Thanks!

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. Its in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for- that for me, is glamor. -Isabella Rossellini
