Tripping

edit

Tripping is a global community of travelers who believe cultural exchange makes the world a better place.

Tripping enables travelers to safely connect with locals – for travel tips, a shared cup of coffee or even a home stay. Offering both web and mobile technology platforms, Tripping also provides easy access to travel resources to help site members make informed decisions when planning their trips.

Started by a group of people who are passionate about travel and the Internet, Tripping is about connecting people, promoting openness and encouraging understanding beyond borders. It’s about making travel affordable and accessible to everyone, everywhere. And it’s about creating an entirely new way of seeing and experiencing the world.
