Tripping

Throw out the guidebook - it's time to experience life through the people that live it. Tripping is a global community of travelers who believe cultural exchange makes the world a better place. When you're traveling, Tripping enables you to connect safely with locals who will introduce you to their towns, their cultures, their lives and their friends. Tripping is excited to partner with Hostel Management to offer an exclusive opportunity for hostels to have their own presence on Tripping via their Networks platform. With a few clicks, partners like Peace Corps and Hostelling International enrich their members and guests' experiences by providing an online platform for cultural exchange via their own branded Networks built by Tripping. This is a great way for hostels to foster their own sense of community and engagement on property and in their local city while gaining exposure in front of a global audience of active travelers.
