Travis stands for "Travel is..." - an open-ended statement that can mean different things to different people. And that's the mindset of travel - near or far, to discover new places, taste new flavours, connect with new people and experience new things - in a way that is unique to you.
Our purpose
Between the 42 tabs, 15 screenshots, 10 friend recommendations, 5 Google sheets - planning your trip feels like a chore, rather than a joy. Something you bury yourself in because you have to. But where's the fun in dreaming up your next best trip, alone?
In a world where 84% of Gen Zs and millennials rely on social media recommendations to decide where to go, what to do, how to live your life.. One thing's clear - travel is an ingrained part of our identities and how we live our lives.
But - anyone who's tried to plan their trips with social apps know that it's a deep rabbit hole of content without functionality that travellers actually need. And today's booking apps are over 10 years old now. Bottom line, we hadn't found a travel app that actually worked for how Gen Zs and millennials dream, curate and plan trips today - so we decided to build one ourselves.
⚡️Access unique tools that travellers need
⚡️ Connect with a travel community who loves what you love
⚡️ Get information to decide where to spend your time and money
⚡️ Build a hub for your best travel self
We're not just another travel planning app.
Curators will continue to play a crucial role in inspiring and showing the world what's good. We aim to provide tools that make it easy for curators and creators to share their experiences.
We are better together. There is no one way to travel, and we welcome people of different cultures, genders, backgrounds, travel budgets and preferences, to enrich our global community.
We believe a life of travel opens your mind up to new possibilities that you might never have considered before. We believe in passing these stories on, to inspire the next person to discover new places, people and experiences.
We're rethinking how travel fits within our everyday lives, and how we interact with technology to dream, curate, and experience new places. We are constantly open to your feedback and suggestions, so that we can keep building our product for the future of travel.
Named Top 100 Innovators 2021 by The Australian, and backed by Skalata Ventures, Travis is one of the leading voices of innovation in travel - especially at the intersection of travellers, creators, and industry. We are building digital experiences for a new generation of Gen Z and millennial travellers to curate their next best trips, through visual moodboards, integrated maps, and stories by real travellers.
