Our take
Trippin began as a Facebook group, and has since grown into a diverse and impactful online travel community, empowering travellers' every move. It does this by mapping underground scenes, championing global creativity and connecting cultures - all done through the eyes of locals.
By combining audio, film, and written material with guides and physical experiences, Trippin collaborates with its community to uncover stories at the intersection of cultural and social boundaries. As well as making travel more meaningful and fun, it also makes it more sustainable for future generations.
Having been founded due to the lack of authentic travel content, Trippin aims to fill this niche. The company has worked with brands including Converse, Nike, and Adidas, and in the future, Trippin aims to put greater emphasis on tackling the social sustainable issues that travel creates.
