Personal Travel Website

 

Welcome to the world of Off Exploring

Off Exploring lets travellers share their experiences and keep in touch with friends through the internet, as they travel around the world.

We provide personal travel websites - an area on the internet exclusively for you to write about your trip. But you don't need to be an "internet geek" or a "computer whizz" - our sites are suitable for internet novices - people who normally wouldn't know where to begin when it comes to making a website, but want to take full advantage of the technology available to help them keep in touch with their mates.

Desinations

There are seven 'zones' you can choose from when setting up your trip:

  • Australia & Oceania
  • Europe
  • Africa
  • Asia
  • Middle East
  • North America
  • South & Central America

    The zone you choose will determine the map that appears on the front page of your site. This map is interactive and flashes to show exactly where you are at the moment!

If your trip is longer, like you're doing a full round-the-world journey, you can change your zone at any time.

Show off all your photos while you travel!

Why wait until you get back from your trip to share all your photos with your friends & family?!

Everyone at home will be desperate to get a better picture of what's going on, so why keep them in suspense when you could be sharing your experiences as and when they happen!!!

With Off Exploring you can set up any number of online photo albums, that anyone back home who is following your trip on the net can access, and see just what a great time you're having!

We'll even crop and resize your photos automatically for you to make the process as quick and easy as possible. And there's no limit on how many you can upload!

How much does it cost to use Off Exploring?

For a two week period after you register with us, Off Exploring is COMPLETELY FREE to use! There are absolutely no charges to register for your own site and no restrictions on the service during your trial.

What happens after the Free Trial period?

After the first 2 weeks, we will e-mail you to ask if you wish to continue using Off Exploring. If you do, you can pay the annual subscription fee and continue to enjoy the benefits of having your own travel site. If you choose not to join, your site will be suspended and you will owe nothing.

What is the joining fee?

It costs just $49 (Australian Dollars, equivalent to £20 British Pounds) for a FULL YEAR of access (click here for currency conversion rates).

What is included?

This low price includes: UNLIMITED access, UNLIMITED postcards, UNLIMITED photos and UNLIMITED destinations for a whole YEAR! So if you're going on a one year trip, no matter how many countries you visit, you'll be able to document your entire journey and always keep in touch - all for just $49!

What are the methods of payment?

We accept a wide variety of online payment methods including all major credit and debit cards through our secure payment server. Also if you prefer not to pay online we accept cheques or direct bank transfer.

What happens when my subscription expires?

After one year, you can choose whether or not to re-subscribe to Off Exploring. If you are on an extended trip and want to keep updating your site, you'll need to pay another year's membership. But because Off Exploring is a permanent record of your trip, if you no longer need to update your site then you do NOT need to pay any more money - we will never delete your site from the web! It will always be there to look back on and bring back fond memories - absolutely free.
