Hey there! Welcome to Postcard Travel. We partner with boutique travel companies that thoughtfully craft tours to promote sustainable and responsible tourism. We invite them to share bite-sized travel stories about their signature tours and publish these in our online publication Couch Travel. Every Friday, we share one of the stories in our weekly newsletter to inspire our global community of mindful travellers. We also help travellers personalise their trips by scheduling zoom calls with our partners on our website Postcard Travel In our upcoming podcast, The Postcard Travel Show, we interview the founders of these boutique companies and listen to stories behind their carefully designed tours. We create short bite-sized videos from these interviews and share them on our YouTube channel Postcard Insights. --- Here’s a fun fact! We launched on 22.02.2022, a date that is both a palindrome and an ambigram! The date reads the same from right to left and left to right and upside down 😉. ---

Who we are and Why we do what we do... We are a community of travellers, travel entrepreneurs and storytellers that support mindful and sustainable tourism. We empower boutique travel companies to promote destinations with authentic stories about its people, culture, history, food, nature and wildlife. We aim to inspire travellers and show them a new way to see the world, by celebrating the stories it has to offer. We do what we do because we believe storytelling has the power to encourage transformational travel and promote sustainable tourism. Stories help global travellers connect with local communities and share their experiences with the world. ---

Travel is meant to be inherently transformational but many people don’t travel in a way that helps them explore meaning and connect with the people and destinations. The idea of bucket list travel and FOMO puts people on a fast track and they go through a destination without engaging deeply with the locals and listening and learning from their stories. We want to show these people a new way to travel, one that encourages them to spend time and connect with the locals. We believe this leads to deeper experiences and personal transformation. At Postcard, we aim to inspire people about places through its local stories. We partner with luxury boutique travel companies and invite them to share stories behind their signature tours. Publishing on Postcard is by invitation and we carefully curate the voices that we showcase and use referrals from our existing publishers and friends to onboard new partners. We ensure that every partner that we work with have demonstrated their commitment to responsible tourism. They structure their businesses in a way that employs locals in their tours and/or use parts of their profit to give back to the local communities.

The first tour published on Postcard is on The Pashmina Trail in Ladakh by Shoba George from the luxury boutique travel company, The Extra Mile. Take a look :) https://postcard.travel/thepashm...

I love to travel very much. We thought for a long time where to go on vacation with my family. And found a lot of interesting informationabout bungalows over Bali https://tripbirdie.com/bali-over... We chose the best time to travel on the advice of experts and are waiting for our vacation. I think we will like this place very much.

It's a very interesting product. All the best!

This is amazing for people who love to travel and tell stories! Well done
