tripbod.com is your original marketplace for authentic local experiences, created for and by you. Nobody knows a place better than the people who live there so who better to offer others the ‘real’ deal than passionate, knowledgeable locals. By connecting you directly one-to-one, we cut out the middle-men and provide an open, trusted space for individuality and diversity to flourish. So wherever you’re exploring, no two experiences will ever be the same – a tripbod experience is whatever you make of it. We believe there’s a tripbod inside all of us just waiting to emerge – join our tribe and release the local hero in you.

Our website may be a new kid on the block but we aren’t – the tripbod.com ecosystem has been steadily evolving since 2007, when our founder Sally first had the idea to personally connect visitors with passionate, trusted locals at the grassroots to plan and create authentic experiences. We’ve been through some inspiring twists and turns to get to where we are today – all thanks to the unwavering support of our original Tripbod network, wonderful customers, friends in the press and like-minded partners.

In a nutshell, we don’t do tours, other than that; the only limit is your imagination!

There’s no such thing as a ‘standard’ experience on tripbod.com – our ecosystem is the antidote to mass-produced activities and impersonal things to do. From botany to battle-fields, cooking to cabaret – wherever you are in the world, everyone's an expert in something. Plan and search for imaginative things to do with people like you in the places you want to explore, transform your personal passions into original local experiences for the world to enjoy, or contact us directly if you can’t find your most-wanted experience and we’ll put the word out to the Tripbod tribe.

To keep you safe and to protect our shared philosophy of providing a trusted space for truly personal, yet mindful experiences, we have a few house rules for what can be offered:

The right side of the law – part of being a true individual is taking responsibility for our own actions. Every experience sticks strictly within the local laws in the location in which its offered and respects the local environment and its people.

One-to-one experiences – who wants to be just another number? tripbod.com allows everyone to express themselves freely and be treated as a true individual, so every experience is private and tailored.

No false advertising – experiences start and end with the Tripbods behind them – no one can offer an experience on behalf of another individual so you always know who you’re dealing with.
