Gowalla – Location Based Social Travel Game

Ever since I joined Gowalla I now find myself tying to commission new locations or become a founder in order to gain a new Stamp and/or Pin. If you aren’t familiar with Gowalla here is a short description from the website:

“Gowalla is a location based social travel game that rewards you for visiting both extraordinary and everyday places with your iPhone. In other words, it’s a bit like having a passport on your iPhone that displays “stamps” from all the places you visit.

In addition to collecting stamps from real-world locations, Gowalla also lets you gather virtual souvenirs, or icons, that can be dropped for others to find. Think of it like virtual geocaching.”
