Today, we're excited to announce the launch of 20 Partnerships and Tripping Networks a brand-new platform where you can connect with travelers who share your interests and affiliations. You can see them all here. Most exciting of all, twenty official partners are already on board to have dedicated Networks for their members! Our partners include universities, study abroad programs, travel associations, international volunteer organizations and even touring rock bands. They all recognize the value of cultural exchange and we’re positive that Networks will strengthen their organizations on an international scale.

'We've chosen to create a Network exclusively for female travelers. Women can openly share their travel stories and experiences here. And then they can use Tripping to meet and stay with each other while traveling. It's fantastic.'
- Amanda Pressner, co-creator of the Lost Girls World
