Trazzler is a free app that makes it simple for you to find great places nearby. But more than that, it's a bold new experiment that blends editorial vision and the collective creativity and wisdom of thousands of smart explorers like you—a place where you collaborate with editors to scout out, photograph, and cover the places you love best.

Every week, Trazzler runs photo and writing contests on fun (and even thought-provoking) themes. You can win money, trips, and prizes just for exploring new places and sharing the things you love to do.

The first rule of Trazzler: Be selective. Every single place you find on Trazzler is here because we think it's good. Period. Real people are working behind the scenes to keep Trazzler clutter free and put the focus on the best places and the best contributors.
