A fair deal for all

We believe that there is a better way to 'do' travel, simply by going local. It's important to make tourism work for the people who live permanently in the destinations that we visit briefly. It's all about listening to the people behind the places and asking their advice on how to do it.

Collaboration & cooperation

Innovation and thinking laterally is how we start to change the world around us for the better. For us that includes working with inspiring people and organisations that share a similar vision and are committing themselves to making a difference. Check out our Partners page for the pick of the crop.

Responsible exploration

It's easy to feel that there's nowhere on earth left to explore, and yet we often have no idea what's on our doorstep. Exhilarating adventures and mind-broadening experiences await if you connect with people who can shed some light on previously hidden paths.

Sustainable experiences

Wherever we travel we aim to tread lightly so that one day we can return to enjoy it all over again. By showing a respect for such places we support their preservation and help avoid them being lost forever.

Honest and open

tripbod.com represents a global community of like-minded people aspiring to the same vision - promoting wonderful people who live in wonderful places. There is no hierarchy as we are all real people with real voices... and we use them.

Mutual personal respect

Within our community there is an unwritten rule that we respect each other implicitly. We are Tripbods because we care, and that is what matters above all else - the passion we hold for the people and places we represent.

Balancing the equation

Our ambition is to empower travellers to experience the real destination in a meaningful way, whereby Tripbods are rewarded fairly for their ambassadorial role, and the community of tripbod.com flourishes sustainabily. We aim to prove there really is a better way to 'do' travel, one where everyone wins.

Ease and security

We have grown from small acorns over several years but nothing has changed from our original ethos. We still want to support visitors to have the most rewarding experiences and aim to earn and retain trust above all else. This is why many people will only work with Tripbods and will trust a local Tripbod above anyone else.
