You know those moments that change everything? Mine happened during a brutal monsoon in Bangkok. Picture this: I'm stuck at Suvarnabhumi Airport, rain drumming against the windows, staring at my laptop screen in despair. My flight's cancelled, my phone's blowing up with messages from my worried homestay host, and my perfectly planned evening at this tiny, impossible-to-book restaurant is slipping away.
My laptop screen looked like an explosion of browser tabs. I had about fifteen windows opened to try and create a backup plan that wouldn't destroy my budget. My partner looked over, impressed by my mad mess of a laptop, and said, "Surely, there are better ways to do this." That better way became Travell.
We're not your typical tech company. Our team brings together perspectives from across the travel industry – from seasoned globetrotters to local culture enthusiasts. Between us, we've experienced just about every travel mishap imaginable, and each one has taught us something valuable.
While other platforms might boast about their algorithms, we focus on the human side of travel. Yes, we have sophisticated technology, but it's the combination of smart tech and genuine human insight that sets us apart. Like the time our support team worked through the night to help a family stranded during a typhoon, coordinating with a small guesthouse that didn't even have email. Those are the moments that define us.
Last summer, we got an email that made our year. A couple, Mark and Lisa, had their honeymoon plans derailed by a strike in Paris. Our team not only rebooked their flights but redesigned their Paris stay, introducing them to a charming neighborhood they'd never considered. Two months later, they sent us a photo of them sharing wine and cheese in "their" newfound Parisian neighborhood.
Or take David, who planned a standard business trip to Tuscany. Through our recommendations, he discovered a tiny family-run olive grove. Now he imports their olive oil for his restaurant in Chicago. Real connections, real stories.
When you start searching on Travell, you're not just tapping into some soulless price comparison engine. You're accessing years of collective travel wisdom, countless lessons learned, and tips from people who live where you're heading.
Our technology, built by travelers for travelers, ensures you'll find options that prioritize experience over just cost. We’ll tell you when a 12-hour layover in Frankfurt isn’t worth saving $200 (spoiler: it rarely is).
Zero catches. Zero surprises. If we say a flight costs $599, that includes all taxes and fees. No hidden costs.
We obsessively track everything from local festivals to weather patterns. Sometimes it’s just plain experience, like knowing flights to Barcelona in September drop when school starts.
Our updates come directly from locals. From taco stand relocations in Mexico City to authentic pubs in Dublin, our recommendations stay fresh and real.
Travel is messy. Plans fall apart, flights get cancelled, and perfect beach days get rained out. But those mishaps often lead to the best stories. We’re here to turn chaos into tales worth telling, with a team of travelers assisting travelers.Join us, and let’s make travel stories worth sharing.
P.S. Yes, I made it out of that Bangkok airport and found an incredible street food stall thanks to a local expert. Sometimes the best travel moments come from the worst travel days.
