It's never been easier to travel and explore the world than it is now.
And that's a great thing!
With social media and digital platforms, people can share their travel experiences and inspire others. This has led to a new profession: travel content creators.
But the travel content creator landscape is mostly about content like:
- Travel tips
- Hotel reviews
- Destination guides
- etc.
They're helpful for planning a trip, no doubt. And the world needs people who help with where to go, how to get there, what to do, and what to eat.
But what about things like:
- Local traditions, customs, and beliefs
- Unique cultural expressions
- Cultural values
What about the cultures behind the places?
Our Vision
At Travel Content Creators, we want to expand what it means to be a travel content creator.
Going beyond the usual travel tips, we focus on cultural exploration through the lens of cultural science. For example:
- Values
- Beliefs
- Traditions
- Spirituality
- Philosophies
- Local customs
- Arts and crafts
- Festivals and celebrations
And our goal is not to be the biggest or the best.
But to come together as one global community.
On this shared journey called Earth, individual achievements can only take us so far. But together, we can create something truly special and sustainable.
That's why "Travel Content Creators" is meant to be a hub for all cultures to share their wisdom with the world.
Why Cultural Science?
We believe that travel content creation shouldn't just be about showcasing the most Instagram-worthy locations or providing the best travel advice.
It should also focus on understanding and appreciating different cultures. And making connections—connections with other cultures and connections with ourselves.
Cultural science helps us get a better grasp of the world around us. We can discover the customs, traditions, and beliefs that shape different societies.
We can see how we've evolved over time. And understand why we are where we are today.
By creating travel content through the lens of cultural science, we hope to:
- Reduce separation and increase unity between cultures globally
- Give people the opportunity to experience the world deeply, even if they can't physically travel
- Help us all find common ground and build bridges between cultures, so we can understand and respect each other
- Break down stereotypes and prejudices, helping us appreciate diversity and understand there's no single "right" way to live
- Inspire people to be modern-day Marco Polos or Ibn Battutas, so they explore different cultures and view the world in a more holistic way
Because at the end of the day, travel is not just about visiting new places or checking items off a bucket list.
It's about connecting with others and learning from different perspectives.
Our Approach
Through studying cultural science and content creation, we noticed a pattern:
Cultural scientists rarely share their knowledge with the public. And travel content creators often overlook cultural depth.
That's why we want to bridge that gap. And create a space where cultural science and travel content creation can come together.
That's why our approach is centered around exploring:
Cultural Heritage: It's in everything: traditional art, architecture, stories, and intergenerational traditions. But also in contemporary culture like cafes, bars, and street art. So we share stories about the everyday culture of different countries and people worldwide.
Cultural Wisdom: Mindfulness, Yoga, meditation, Qi Gong... Ancient civilizations knew a lot about living a good and fulfilled life. So we research and provide you with in-depth, interesting articles on these ideas and how to implement them in your life.
Mindful Travel: Finding a place to learn, deepen, and practice ancient teachings can be tough. So we collect and share information about the best places worldwide for learning and practicing concepts from the Cultural Wisdom section.
And we also believe collaboration and partnership are key to promoting cultural understanding and a more united world. That's why we strive to work with other cultural scientists and organizations to provide deeper insights into specific cultural topics.
In the end, our goal is to inspire people to not just travel. But experience different cultures.
To see beyond the tourist hotspots.
To discover the soul of a culture.
To understand.
And by doing so, we hope to make the world a little more connected, understanding, and peaceful.
