There are at least a thousand new startup websites in the travel sphere every day. But one thing almost none of them are doing is providing a broad platform for foreign language bloggers to share their stories with a predominantly English speaking audience. Enter Webflakes which promises the best of foreign content from around the world to an English speaking audience via a community of volunteer translators.

By removing the language barrier, the site offers an authentic point-of-view from countries that most of us only dream of visiting. The site features posts from over 70 leading international bloggers on topics such as travel, food & dining, architecture and design directly from local bloggers from countries such as France, Italy, Japan, Switzerland and Peru, all translated into English.
Content is written in the bloggers’ native languages and therefore has never been available to English speakers – until today!
Our global community of volunteers translates this content into English, making it accessible to readers worldwide! So finally, you can access the unique and authentic voices and perceptions of international writers, and delve into your favorite topics, interests and passions – no matter what language they’re written in.
