About us

http://www.isanyonegoingto.com/ is a fantastic web site that puts travellers in touch with one another before they make a journey. Our aim is to reduce the number of cars on the roads at the same time make introductions. Our website puts members of our online community from the same geographical locations, travelling to the same destinations together. Saving money, inconvenience and more importantly our environment...

Our members upload their details on their ‘my going to' page, then members add a photograph of themselves and/or their vehicle a brief synopsis about what they are about, promote their events and a detailed list of their movements, where they are travelling to and from and at what times. Members can search these pages and communicate through Skype or Messenger.

The database search functionality works with the latest mapping technology to pin point locations via post codes.
