1)Â Don’t judge me.
2) Hear me out.
In order for social networking to thrive, users must log on and provide information. Facebook, MySpace, and Friendster (way back when) were nothing but blank fields until people joined, filled out their information, uploaded their pictures, and began stalking the s$(t out of each other.
It’s a simple concept. Got it? Good.
Now go back and recollect your college days. Remember your fondest memories. Your most treasured experiences. Those crazy incidents you can’t believe even happened.
Remember them? Great. Now answer me this: did they happen on a study abroad program?
If you studied abroad in college, you probably answered yes. If you didn’t study abroad…well, that kind of stinks. But keep reading.
Remember what you did when you returned back to your college campuses after your time abroad. You bored your friends to death with the stories of getting lost in the middle of the Forum on a Saturday night in Rome. You upload your pictures religiously, and comment on your fellow abroaders’ relentlessly. You tell people about that tiny restaurant with the best salmon tagliatelle, the Drunken Ship in Campo di Fiori and its deadly drinks, the great little boutique off the Corso where you bought those awesome earrings.
If your friends follow your footsteps and head to Rome, chances are they’ll check out at least one of these places on your recommendation. If they know of friends heading to the city, they may pass along the same recommendation.
ScapeIt takes this trickle of information and floods it to its users interested in studying in or visiting that particular city. Consider it Facebook for study abroaders and travel afecionados alike.
Or it will be, once you create an account and start uploading your information.
If you studied abroad and had an amazing experience, you owe it to Scapees to share your information. If you’re looking for a great study abroad experience, you’ll benefit from all the great (and bad) recommendations from Scapers to make your experience the best possible.
So get on it. And start to Scape It.
