Cost4travel- A New Website Idea
I spend a lot of my time online and particularly on the social media sites. So when I got a mail from Cost4travel (it is a beta sire as of now) one day I was not really surprised. What impressed me about the mail was the courteous tone and the feeling that I was not being bullied into linking or anything.
And no this is not a paid review, I have done it voluntarily because I liked the idea.
The premise is simple- to encourage users to share their travel costs voluntarily across the world! I mean to share costs like what did you pay for a hotel, taxi ride, trip and stuff like that.
I liked the idea. I mean we can get reviews at a lot of places but being able to compare costs with fellow travelers has an appeal for me for sure. What do you say?
I did ask them about how they came across my blog and the reply I got was-
Regarding your question, I have been spending many months searching for travel blogs and travel journalists (through links in other web sites and Google Alerts) and your site came up a number of times.

I love the last paragraph.
The idea seems quite practical.
Well, thanks for telling that the article was not paid for. Can we be sure that there were no other inducements? :D
I thought they were trying to fool you... :)

Dear all, I am Stephane, from cost4travel.
Thank you very much for these positive feedback, highly appreciated.
Now, we just hope lots of travellers will start use the site to centralise and organise their own travel costs (using My Trips) so that we can grow the database and return good search results to all travellers.
Have a good weekend all of you.
Stephane
This is indeed a good idea. Thanks for sharing. I'll give it a spin during my next travel.
All the best to team cost4travel!
