About Us

What is Earth.org, the open travel guide?

We are an independent, Wiki-based, open travel guide, designed to give you...

• Practical, useful tips from travellers like you
• Real-world perspectives on the people and customs of the destinations you visit
• Guidance on travelling responsibly
• A place to share your knowledge with travellers who visit the places you love

We believe that travel is just as much about people as it is about places. When you connect and participate with local people in their culture, environment, and concerns, the places you visit come alive.

At Earth.org, we speak from experience! The Earth.org team consists of travellers from 10 nations. We practice living and travelling responsibly on a daily basis, both in our personal lives and in our professional work. And we make it our business to learn more about sustainable travel every day.

What does this mean, exactly? We invite you to explore your world with a new perspective:

• TRAVEL with minimal impact to the planet
• HELP local craftspeople and farmers through fair-trade shopping
• MAKE meaningful connections with the people you encounter
• EXPLORE the world around you as an informed participant

Earth.org is your tool for planning and sharing your adventures, whether you are travelling to Greenland or Tierra del Fuego, Galway or Auckland. Each journey becomes an opportunity to explore and take part in a new culture and environment.
