Minube is my travel companion, one that I always carry with me in my pocket or my backpack. It's where I share the experiences I have and it's where I go to find things to do, restaurants, hotels, and even flights. Minube has something special that I think is lacking in similar travel apps...something romantic. There's something about the design, the features – it’s all created with community and sharing in mind. Minube is not just about rating and reviewing a hotel breakfast, the price of a museum, or the beauty of a landscape. Minube is a place where travelers come to share because we want others to enjoy our discoveries and avoid our errors. Minube is a network for and by those of us with two grand passions in life: traveling and sharing.

As a photographer and traveler, I have to admit I fell in love with minube at first sight. I'm usually skeptical about travel sites that recommend tourist attractions, perhaps because I'm a photographer and tend to seek out places that are less-visited or "hidden." Then, I saw that minube users were sharing their own favorite places, places that are actually special to them. For me, it became a source of inspiration – a place where I could find recommendations about things to do in even the most out-of-the-way destinations. It’s this sense of community that makes minube special. I realized that minube is not a site that's just trying to sell you something, but rather a place that can help you in all stages of your trip (local cuisine, restaurants, points of interest, hidden places, where to stay), regardless of your travel style.

During our two year long trip around the world, minube was an excellent tool to discover new and exotic destinations and save the places we wanted to visit. The ability to save places and see them on a map really helped us organize our trip and the ability to download your saved places to your phone is a pretty unique and helpful idea, especially compared to other travel sites. In just about every place we visited, we found the reviews and photos helpful for finding things to do as well as restaurants and hotels.

Minube has redefined the way I plan my trips. As a photographer, I'm a tremendously visual person and a lot of times a beautiful photo is all it takes to convince me to pack my bag and head out into the world. Minube's community not only gives practical advice and recommendations (the kind that only travelers can give), but they also share gorgeous photos that help you discover some truly incredible places. It’s nice that they also have restaurant and hotels reviews so you can plan every part of your trip without leaving the site. Above all, I like the fact that I can return home after a trip full of unforgettable experiences and share them with fellow travelers. Who knows, maybe I'll be the one to inspire them to discover a new destination!

As part of the team which helps build and improve minube every day, my goal is to make minube an ideal place to share all of those cool, hidden places we discover along my journeys. By sharing the things we love, we can inspire other travelers to live their own unique experiences. Simply put, we want to help you discover the most amazing places on Earth. I strive to make minube a sort of home for all of us who are passionate about traveling, from the moment we start thinking about our next getaway to when we’re back at home and sharing our memories. It doesn’t matter whether you’re using the website or minube’s iOS and Android apps, my dream is the same: to make minube an indispensable part of your next trip.
