localeikki, the traveling athlete's solution
Hi everyone. My name is Tracy & I'm new to the forum. I started a company called localeikki (translates to 'play local') almost 2 years ago, and we launched a website & iPhone/iPad app (in beta!) in September 2013. Right now, localeikki is a crowd-sourced database where people can share & find places to run, walk, hike, & bike when traveling. It focuses on publicly accessible (multi-use trails, etc) and locally recommended.
Our VISION is that localeikki becomes the only travel tool that enables you to coordinate your health/fitness plans with your travel plans through locally recommended content. We want to build in a hotel booking engine so people can connect where to stay with where to play.
We're still in the early stages and are looking for travelers to tell us what THEY would want--what would make a tool like this a necessity rather than a nice-ity?
If you have an interest, please check us out: www.localeikki.com.
Happy, active travels!

Hi Tracy,
Welcome to Flyertalk!
Here's hoping you have success with your app. It's happened to other Flyertalkers!

Thanks, Doc! That would be incredible, for sure :-) But right now, I'm just focused on trying to solve the pain point myself & many folks on this forum have felt--we just want to know a good place to be active! Hopefully we can create a tool that helps people with that.
