The social location app Gowalla has introduced a new feature that lets users create custom “trips” for others to explore. Up until now, Gowalla trips have been created by the staff — like the Fremont Freak Walk in Seattle (below), which combines six stops. Users who check-in at each stop complete the trip and win a custom pin.

“This is just the first step in making trips a truly key part of Gowalla’s future,” explains Gowalla’s Josh Williams, adding that upcoming features will include categorizing trips into “logical groups like Pub Crawls, Nature Hikes, and the like.”
