We all love social media. Admit it -- if you're not glued to your screen, gawking at insanely beautiful outdoor photographs from greats such as Chris Burkard on Instagram, you're tweeting about seven of the world's greatest treks, or places to see in 2016.
As visual-story-loving wanderlusters, we're all slightly addicted to our phones, and love staying connected to fellow likeminded travel-lovers. For us personally, social media is the perfect way to document our trip, and share our many life-changing experiences, in the hope to inspire anyone and everyone to save their cash, live with less, and come join us for a toot somewhere!
So where are we going with this?
We'd like to share our favourite new social obsession with you.
Enter Facet. We think it's best described as an audio-visual and social curation of travel bliss, teleporting you to fascinating places all around the world. Think Instagram's art direction, Snapchat's portrait video takeover, Vimeo's energetic interaction, and Pinterest's intuitive organization. It's a place you can go when you need to escape and be inspired with exhilarating (and sometimes mouth-watering) things to do. Each experience is curated by the best of the best, and if you're looking for new things to do, eat and experience in either your city, or one you're visiting soon, it's the ultimate experience-hunting machine.
10-second video experiences, or 'Facets', are grouped by places to go, things to eat, and things to see or do. All featured Facets are hand-picked by the Facet50, who are a collective of 50 creative travelers from around the world, all on a mission to bring the most unique, exciting and delicious experiences to your screen.
Facet is currently only available on iOS but an Android version is said to be coming soon. You can download it from the Apple App Store here.
