Earth.org helps you travel the world

Earth.org (www.earth.org) is the new open travel guide. Whether your passion for traveling takes you to the other side of the earth or simply to the outskirts of your village, Earth.org encourages you to share your experiences with others. This way we all create a reliable travel guide written by you and like-minded travelers from all over the world.

Traveling to a location for the first time is a beautiful challenge. It is all about getting to know new cultures, new insights and new people. So who knows best and can give you information on your destination? Right, its the local in the know or people who have travelled there already.

You can find and benefit from their knowledge at Earth.org, the open travel guide. Its a collaboratively edited travel guide, where you get the most reliable travel information. It is coming from people who know it best. And that can be you as well! At Earth.org everyone writes the travel guide. By sharing your knowledge on www.earth.org you can help travellers from all over the world to visit your hometown.

Core Facts

At Earth.org we like to think that we are changing the way people travel. We believe that change must start at the individual. Every citizen across the globe has a tremendous knowledge on places where they live or have travelled to. And this is why we believe a knowledge sharing culture can happen.
Free from corporate profits: Earth.org has a non-profit approach, making the information free from paid sources. Earth.org allows users to share free information about destinations, trips, and new things to discover. The idea is to create a reliable resource for travellers and explorers to use as a research tool.
The Earth.orgs Ambassadors, a network of travel writers: The Earth.org Ambassadors are based in more than 60 locations on our beautiful planet: Berlin, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Kerala and many more. They know their home or current location better than anyone else. So they can use their knowledge to validate the travel guide content on Earth.org, written on their area.
A dedicated team working remotely all over the world: At Earth.org we work 100% remotely, there is no physical office any more. Our team members are located all over the globe. We work from the beach or the mountains, in cities or in the countryside, at home with kids or while traveling. Otto and Mathias Stricker, two brothers who work seamlessly together share the ownership of Earth.org. Visit our Earth.org blog (http://blog.earth.org) and meet each of us working live at Earth.org.

Quotes

You just add your favorite restaurant in your hometown or some info about your traveling experiences. You share your knowledge - and if we all do this, a new way of traveling can emerge. You suddenly have free and reliable travel information on the Internet, just like you have it now with Wikipedia for the world of encyclopedia.
