Traveling is a popular pastime for many. Several times a year we set out on new adventures, both at home and around the world. But what happens when friends and family don't have the time, inclination or money to travel with us? Is traveling alone an option for you? If you'd rather not travel alone, but rather enjoy the company of like-minded people, today we present the JoinMyTrip platform!
How was JoinMyTrip created?
JoinMyTrip was first launched in 2017 under the name Travelsation by founder Niels. He had recently traveled around the world and noticed that many people were traveling alone, but always wanted the company of other travelers in hostels. So, of course, he asked himself what the reason for this was and the answer was clear: In the vicinity of most travelers there were no people who wanted to travel with them. And even travel partner Facebook groups had limited help. That is why he came up with the idea of a platform where travelers can meet and plan their trips together. Together with co-founder Valentin, the platform went online in 2017 and became JoinMyTrip in 2018.
How does JoinMyTrip work?
The concept behind JoinMyTrip couldn't be simpler. Do you love to plan and are you always the person in your circle of friends that everyone can trust? Then you are a trip leader. Or are you the type of person who likes to 'sit down and enjoy' and let others do the great work? It's simple: you are a TripMate. TripLeader offer their planned trips on JoinMyTrip, which they have created with the Trip Editor. The price per person will be of course also stated so that TripMates knows how much to pay. On the other hand, TripMates can easily take part in a trip. If you find a trip that you like straight away, you can pay a 20% deposit directly to let your TripLeader know that you want to come. If you have any questions, you can ask your TripLeader via chat. And that's it!
The JoinMyTrip support is always by your side on your way. By using the platform's secure payment system, fraud can practically be ruled out and you can always contact JoinMyTrip support if you have any problems with your payment. You can also watch detailed videos on how the platform works on the JoinMyTrip YouTube channel. In the Travel Podcast, of course, they talk about the platform, but also funny travel stories, travel tips and many other travel topics!
Why should you plan or book your next trip with JoinMyTrip?
For TripLeader and TripMates, the JoinMyTrip platform is easy to use and very secure. If you want to plan your own trip, you are not alone in creating it. Each trip is viewed and rated personally by the JoinMyTrip team. If something is missing or improvements are possible, you will be contacted personally so that you can ask questions if necessary. Once your trip is posted online, customer support will contact you via WhatsApp or email to find out who to turn to if you need help - rest assured that you are talking to real people, not robots !
As a TripMate, you will of course also benefit from the care and passion that the team puts into the platform. You can be sure that there are no bad rides on the platform! If you don't like something, you can report a trip or contact the support team. You can choose from several types of trips: coworking trips, guided trips, and team trips.
Coworking trips are trips where you and your group work from home for your company during the day and explore the country after work. Guided trips are pre-planned trips with a very well thought out itinerary. Team Travel gives you, as a TripMate, the opportunity to have a say in the journey, the route is only roughly defined. And now it's up to you - what do you choose JoinMyTrip? If you want to know more about travel and JoinMyTrip, check out the travel magazine and be inspired by the whole world!
