Every person has a trekrecord. It is the number of countries you have been to. Find your trekrecord, compare it with others, upload trekphotos and keep your treknotes from the places you visit. Share your travel experiences with friends and other trekkers or use trekrecord as your personal travel record diary. Find out where your friends are travelling, see which restaurants, hotels, bars, and other places they liked and plan your next trek based on experiences of people you trust! Make your wish list of countries you would like to visit, see who else has the same and fulfill your wishes together. The concept of trekrecord was created by Miltos Kambourides (www.miltos.com) an avid traveler and entrepreneur.
