The corporate life has put us all in a rut. With the culture of “work from home” work has even invaded our personal space. Such a stressful life invariably makes us crave for new adventures and experiences. Travelling is one thing that has the ability to restore this balance. Travelling is how you get to learn new things, challenge yourself and push your boundaries beyond your comfort zone.
However it is not easy to just pick up a rucksack and leave for an adventure. There are a lot of things to be considered like- hotels, commute, holidays, weather, food etc but most importantly money! Hearty expenses are the reason why many people curb their desire to see new places. Travel industry is now a booming business in itself. Everything is commercialized! The better the service the more money it demands.
In such a scenario internet comes as a life saver. Everything is now available online at the click of a button. It has become much easier to plan trips, make bookings, find like-minded people to travel with and most importantly to keep in touch with the latest trends in travelling that are catching on around the world.
One such current trend that is helping people all around the world to travel effortlessly without stressing their pockets is the concept of Crowd-Funding. Understanding it is as simple as the name sounds. A large crowd of people come together on the internet and well…funds your trip! It is as simple as it is exciting. And to make it happen HelpTrip is the place where you need to be.
It is the first platform in India that is offering a Crowd-Funded trip.
Through Crowd-Funding you can win a completely sponsored trip for as low as 100 bucks. To make it simpler let us take you through the process. In Crowd-Funding a pool is set up for a destination. Let’s suppose the destination is Goa. All you have to do is go to the HelpTrip website and subscribe. Interestingly the subscription amount is the only money you would have to pay for the basics of the trip. These basics include a 5 star hotel stay, complete flight travel, all meals, city tours, parties etc. Ordinarily the subscription amt is as low as 100 bucks. Don’t believe it? Check it out for yourself on HelpTrip website and enter the current pool!
Once the subscription is done we come to the second phase. Since a lot of people would be subscribing and would want to go on the trip there will be a voting process. The voting will take place with the help of a live spin wheel. However the catch is that no one can vote for themselves, every spin would give out a random name from the subscriber base.
The spin wheel and live vote counter are the most transparent way for choosing who gets to go on the trip. The live voting will enable you to observe who and when voted for you. A name can be voted more than once. Every subscriber added to the pool boosts your chances to win.
Depending on the number of votes and the amount of pool one or more lucky subscribers would be chosen by HeplTrip to win an all expenses paid trip to the destination they have subscribed for.
This way of travelling not only saves you a lot of money but also gives you new experiences where you get to meet and travel with new people. It not only expands your learning experience but helps you see life from a new perspective
The pool for our first trip has already started. So put on your adventure shoes and let the spinning begin! For more details check out the HelpTrip website http://www.helptrip.me.
Cheers!
Life is what you make it.
