Endings at the Beginning

I've had a hobby website for a few years. Actually it was supposed to make me money but I really had little idea how. It features unusual and unique accommodation around the world - lots of fun - lots of my time. It's not a booking agent, but a guide: www.staytopia.com

I had travelled for 20 years and now I have two children, so most of my travelling is to school, back from school...

Staytopia was a way to 'travel' virtually. There are an incredible amount of wacky places to stay around the world - I had no idea - but research is my thing and I found thousands. You can stay up a tree, underwater, underground, on ice, etc. Unfortunately I only placed about 30 on my site - I was spending far too much time researching each place and painstakingly writing lots of information about the castle or whatever and the surrounding area/city/countryside/country/planet/starsystem.

Now I've decided that, considering I don't work on Staytopia anymore, I will change direction. I have a new idea..
