‘In all the bars in all the world’
It started in a bar in Hong Kong, where 6 people met, paired off and left…Now married with kids and reunited again, they’ve set up a remarkably resourceful website for travellers everywhere, past and present.
They all met in one bar, ‘The Yelts Inn’, a spit and sawdust expat bar in the heart of Hong Kong’s party district. In it’s pre-handover heyday, Hong Kong was a haven for everyone from crusty travellers trying to earn enough to bum around Thailand’s beaches, to the Yuppies that left London searching for their fortunes in the worlds most affluent banking market.
Director Tracey Davies says, “We have built a website that will not only reunite travellers, expats, reps and holidaymakers. But this is also a place for them to call their home away from home. We want to ensure that people never need to lose touch again”.
For anyone looking to hook up again, or even just find out “what are they doing now?” there’s the reunited element. After registering, a member enters the bars, hostels and places they’ve stayed and which month and year that they were there. They are given their own page where they can add notes and can comment on each place visited. Once registered, they can search for friends via country, city, bar, hostel, resort etc and read others’ notes. All of this is free and users can contact as many people as they wish.
There is also a travellers Forum to exchange tips, stories and share experiences, that you won’t find in any guide book. This is real up to the minute information, with specific, easily searchable categories. Tracey said, “We found that, when we were travelling, the best information on your next stop came from other travellers. By creating a forum, travellers can tap into a wealth of real experience, years before it emerges in a guide book.”
PlanetReunited.com has been tested vigorously over the past two months and through hard work and word of mouth, prior to launch, has over two thousand members. This number is rising dramatically each day, as it spreads around the world like wildfire. We already have many different members including travellers as far back as 1982, bankers who worked in Hong Kong and Singapore during the heady days of the nineties, students that are travelling now, Ex Camp America and Kibbutz workers and many many Antipodeans that made Europe and the UK their temporary homes.
