Studying abroad automatically puts you in the globetrotting category! gtrot (short for globetrotting), is a social travel site that encourages sharing your trips with friends and finding friends in your destination. You login with Facebook (we don\u2019t bite or spam) and we take the data you\u2019ve provided to Facebook as a basis for your profile. gtrot is perfect for student travelers! It gives students a chance to share their trips with their family and friends. Most of us have more friends on Facebook than in our immediate friendship circles. Once you share your trip with your Facebook friends, they can offer advice. What\u2019s great about this is that you get advice and recommendations from the people you know and trust, rather than complete strangers from travel review sites.Maybe one of your friends had the best chocolate in France or saw an amazing exhibit in Madrid; this is why gtrot is here. We want your friends to share those experiences with you. Your friends who have traveled to the same city, or in some cases live in that city will show up as well.<\/p>\n

One of our newest features is the \u201cInsider\u2019s Guides\u201d. If you share your trip with gtrot, which really means sharing your destination and travel dates, to one of our selected destinations, we\u2019ll send you an exclusive guide to the city. Cool, right? The guides are delivered through email and you\u2019ll be able to take them around the town with you. We\u2019ve compiled recommendations from gtrot users with experience in those cities. These guides give you amazing places to eat, shop, party and explore! The Insider\u2019s Guides are not your average travel guides. Sourced from young, social travelers, you\u2019ll find off-the-beaten path activities, events and experiences. We\u2019ll be expanding the guides to cover more cities, but for now we chose eight of the top summer destinations: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Beijing, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Shanghai.

\nStudying abroad is one of the great opportunities college students have. Study abroad programs make it easier for students when it comes to planning, housing, etc. In most study abroad programs, there is time set aside for exploration with your group\/class. This works in favor of those who don\u2019t like to explore the city independently while traveling. We want you to get the most out of your study abroad experience, so utilizing gtrot and the Insider\u2019s Guides will help make your experience even better! Share your study abroad trip with us, and we\u2019ll send you something special! Happy travels and travel happy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
