Make Timely Travel Plans With Joobili
Joobili is a travel planning site with a difference. Its motto is ‘you say when, we say where’ and that sums up what Joobili is all about. 
Using Joobili
To use it, all you have to do is pick a range of travel dates using the home page slider and it will tell you what is going on during that time. That takes you to another page with a list of events that you can filter using:
- categories such as family, arts, food and drink, celebrations, music and (my personal favorite) unusual
- country – the site currently contains only European destinations, but it would be good to see it broadened to include more places
- tags
You can also see others who have liked the events.
Events And More
Clicking on an individual event brings up a description, a link to the event’s website, as well as a tabbed list for information on guides, hotels, car rental and flights. You can see a map, check for nearby events, and see who else on the site is going there.
Member Benefits
Most of this functionality is available without logging in, but signing up gives you the chance to connect with other site members, create lists of place you have been and places you would like to visit and discuss events in the forum, though I didn’t see many active discussions.
The Verdict
Joobili works well for people who are flexible about destinations but are looking for unique or memorable vacations. It’s small at the moment, but looks promising. In the meantime, if you’re looking for travel inspiration for other destinations, check out the sites listed in this Times Online article.
