-Some more links about their destination would be great - links to wikitravel; photos from other travellers, hotel/flight etc.
-Not all photo albums (especially with non-phone cameras) have location information attached as the user has to tag that location. I've noticed many of my friends will name their holiday album with the name of the country or city? Is there some way you would find trips based off photo albums with country names or similar?
I like it a lot, but once I've seen my friends trips in a minute or two; I'm not sure what to do now. Nice work.
We actually implemented something similar to what you are describing. We map locations to tokens found in album titles. It's turned off though, until we fine tune this feature a little more, we're getting too many false positives. You're right though, travel related albums are very often labeled with the destination and the date.
I like to travel and I'm interested in this space but I don't use Facebook.
Regardless, I'm not sure if it quite solves a problem I have? I would be somewhat interested in seeing the travel history of friends, but not enough to check it regularly after an initial look.
Some suggestions
