GLOBETROOPER

Globetrooper is a social platform where travelers can find partners for global trips and expeditions. The concept of Globetrooper is to 'Travel Together'. Anyone can publish a trip or join a trip. Trips range from weekend drives across the US to year-long adventures to all seven continents. Globetrooper has supported numerous highly-publicised expeditions. For example, a 20-person 12,000km circumnavigation of India by rail. There was no tour guide or company. The group met on Globetrooper, made plans over the course of a year, then met in India to depart. Another example is a 13-person 1,000 mile trek across the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The group was supported by camels and local interpreters. Globetrooper trips tend not to require specific skills or extraordinary ability.
