GOZAIC.COM

Hi all!
I stumbled across a site suggested by my American History magazine. It is called Gozaic.com and is sponsored by Heritage Traveler and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Well, our names are written all over this website!

This is what the site explains:
At Gozaic, you can find life-enriching travel experiences, interact with those who share your interests, discover new places rich in history and culture, and build itineraries to visit the places that matter. Tom C. joined Gozaic and created a personal profile, where he shares his experiences visiting great Civil War battlefields and connects with a community of people who are also passionate about heritage and history.

As a member of the Gozaic community, Tom explores heritage sites and destinations, writes reviews and posts photos of the places he’s passionate about. Plus, he can create and share the itineraries for his upcoming trips. Gozaic makes it easy for Tom to connect with other Civil War enthusiasts and discover interesting facts about historic battlefields that he didn’t already know.

So, let's take a little blogging journey alright?--after all, we are Traveling Through History. Let's visit and interact on some of the newest and maybe not so new History websites and discuss them.

What do you say? Tomorrow--same time, same place...well, okay maybe not the same time...

MISSION: Explore Gozaic.com, join some communities, bring back your findings.

GOOD LUCK ALL!

  1. Thanks for your post about Gozaic.com, Kristie!

    Gozaic will actually be launching in all its full-featured glory very soon. If you visit http://gozaic.com now, you'll see what the new site will have to offer when it does launch.

    In the meantime, you can pre-register at http://gowithapurpose.com and submit your photos and reviews of destinations and sites you've visited. Those will become the cornerstone of Gozaic and be featured on the site.

    Thanks again!

  2. I'm excited for the full-feature launch of Gozaic.com and hopes that it happens soon! I'm especially looking forward to interacting with fellow travelers, as there's not a lot of websites to do so, especially travelers who like historical places.

  4. Hi Robert,

    Gozaic.com launched in September, with a great deal more features for you to enjoy. Not only can you review sites and destinations and post photos, but you can find more information on hundreds of places and also plan your trips by creating your own trip itineraries. There are also a number of groups you can join, called Circles, where you can connect with other members who share your interests.

    Gozaic is currently in beta, and we'll be launching more features and functionality over the coming months. More interest-based circles will be launched as well, so keep an eye out for ones that will be of interest to you.

    Best,
