More and more people are using social networking sites to stay in touch with old friends as well as to meet new people and make business contacts. Another way to utilize such sites is group travel.

Private travel groups, such as families or church groups, can create their own online community to share information, photos, itineraries and other trip details with one another. Solo travelers can join travel groups online to meet other people who are interested in going to the same destinations that they are.

If you’re a member of MySpace or Facebook, you can make that the place where you connect with your travel group. Or you can sign up with one of the social networking sites specific to travelers such as TripUp. You also can start your own group on any platform from Google Groups to Ning to connect with the people that are in your existing group of travelers.
