About Pin There

Born out of a passion for different travel experiences and how they impact people. Pin There is a travel media platform that aims to make more travel possible. 

We experiment with many things, but mostly focus on travel & lifestyle businesses to:
-Share first-hand experiences.
People experience travel in inspiring ways, we want to make sharing stories and ideas accessible to help those exploring the world.

-Develop travel planning tools & services. 
What was once a small weekend side-project became the basis of founding Pin There.

-Enable and support digital nomads. 
From researching, learning about, experimenting with, and reporting on different monetization opportunities to collaborating with people that are already living a travel lifestyle.

Here's a quick overview of my personal Pins so far. You can find out more about my own Pinner profile here.
