A collaboratively written travel guide is stronger than any individual!

We have always had one thought in our heads: Can we build a house if everyone brings one brick, contributing one little piece at a time? One day we discovered Wikipedia , and with it, the idea of the Wiki answered our question: It is possible to build a house with a collaborative effort. Even better, you can build more houses, and then communities. And with this collaborative approach you can eventually build the Earth. This is the vision of Earth.org: provide the world with responsible travel information gathered piece by piece from travellers just like you.

Earth.org is available for public collaboration. Every member brings just a small piece of travel information - and every member of the community benefits from it. And soon we build a house, a palace, a community, or the Earth. With each new piece of information we build an ever growing pool of responsible travel information.

If you contribute your comments online, for example on a blog - it is your personal piece of information, unstructured, at random and lost in time. If you tell a friend in your words about your visit to India, the words are fleeting, you may confuse the details, you may forget a place you stayed, a route you took...

We are impressed, stunned, inspired and blown away by the possibilities of collaboration in a Wiki. A nest is stronger than a twig. A rope is stronger than a single thread. Collaboration is much stronger than any individual effort. Even the most talented travel guide writer in the world cannot match the knowledge and experience of a community of responsible travellers.

We see it as our duty to realize this vision through a non profit approach . How can we allow the members to bring the bricks and build the palace and only allow us - the team behind Earth.org - to live in that palace? This is not sustainable, and not fair.

Please support us realize our common vision!
