Heading overseas? Try ffindr.com!

One of the great things about frisbee is the community that surrounds it. Frisbee seems to attract a fairly good sort, generally open, active and friendly. When travelling overseas, this lends to a great experience.

I have managed to play in tournaments in Europe, Taiwan, Hawaii and NZ. The hosts and players at these tournament have always been extremely inviting and accommodating and these tournament have been fantastic highlights of my trips overseas.

With my travels in Europe, I used an international frisbee event listing call ultilinks. This gave me the details of a hat tournament in Halle, Germany. After playing in this tournament I was also invited by the host team to play with them at one of their warm-up tournament before German nationals. Both of these tournament were fantastic and I really hope to catch up with the friends I made there when I head to Europe.

Unfortunately, ultilinks died some time in 2007. This made dreaming up exciting frisbee side adventures to my travels much harder and I mourned for its loss.

Thankfully, earlier this year the hole was plugged by a new European run site, http://ffindr.com

If you are heading overseas, take the time to check out the site and see if you can't catch an extra frisbee or two while you are away.
