I´ve been asked to be one of World reviewers experts on travel, which of course is a great way to help people make their travel dream come true. Lately I have worked a lot within the Travel industry and finds it very interesting. I am, for example, working as a guide with South America as a speciality. I just love it. It is all I believe in. It is about making a group of people aware of the great world they live in, building a bridge to the culture they visit and making their dream come true. It is also a challenge to myself to in the best possible way present this dream. So, being a expert at World Reviewer also gives a perspective on the rest of the world. I´ve, so far, offered 10 reviews of places to visit on this great globe of ours. See http://www.worldreviewer.com/member/mikael-strandberg/

This is the idea with the award winning World Reviewer:

World Reviewer is all about holiday experiences. We have taken a completely new look at how travel is presented online – starting with what you want to do, rather than where you want to go, and starting with experiences, rather than the products or services.

First we collected the best travel experiences in the world – not according to us, but according to the over 200 travel specialists, experts, scholars and scientists we have assembled to help us. Clearly there is no such thing as the definitive list, which is why the site is open for users to add to, to rate, and to review. You can browse all the experiences we have on the main travel ideas page, and filter by category (what) and location (where).

Next we have linked them with selected holiday products and services, from holidays to hotels to flights to get there, as well as further resources to find out more about the destinations – also ‘what’s nearby’, the weather to expect at certain times of year, local tours, and so on. We still have a way to go here, but we are steadily building sophisticated trip planning tools that will provide you with a range of choices as to how you want to book your holiday – through a tour operator, by putting the trip elements together yourself, or by using the personalised service of a travel expert.

Above all, the experience of finding ideas and planning your holiday online should be fun, which is why we are using the latest technology – thousands of stunning flickr images, the latest google mapping, videos imported from YouTube and Geobeats, and fun tools like our weather map, or our ‘experience of the day’.

World Reviewer aims to be:

• Inspirational
• Authoritative
• Visually appealing
• Simple to use
• Practically useful
• Technologically savvy
