Do you still remember the last trip that truly touched your heart?

・Perhaps it was in the quiet alleys of Kyoto at dawn, when a warm-hearted neighbor invited you in for a cup of tea.
・Perhaps it was in South America, when you got lost and a fellow backpacker you had never met guided you through the jungle.
・Perhaps it was on a train, where a stranger listened to your travel stories for two whole hours, and you never even asked their name.

Travel has never been just about the scenery.
It’s a series of real, vivid encounters — moments when soul meets soul.
We believe that what truly moves you in a journey is never the stars of a hotel or the luxury of an itinerary, but the warmth, kindness, and mutual help between people.

This is the kind of travel iTripMeta wants to bring you.

Redefining Travel: More than Sightseeing — It’s Connection

iTripMeta is a new kind of travel social platform — a community where one travel lover helps another in simple, genuine ways.

Here, you’re never just a passerby.
・You might be the one offering your couch, giving a traveler from afar a warm night’s rest.
・You might be the newcomer in a foreign city, receiving heartfelt tips from a local “old hand.”
・You might never have met before, but because you share a love for travel, your stories intertwine.

We believe travel is meant to be an exchange — not only of resources, but of experiences, perspectives, and listening hearts.

With iTripMeta, you can:
🏠 Offer or find free accommodation, welcoming and being welcomed like old friends.
🗺 Get travel tips from locals, and experience the city beyond the tourist trail.
📖 Share your travel stories with people from all over the world, preserving the most memorable encounters.
🍻 Meet fellow travelers offline, host gatherings, journey together, and share laughter over drinks.
🤝 Become a travel volunteer, helping more people who love exploring the world just like you.

One Journey, One Growth; One Platform, One Spirit

Friendship and mutual help are at our core.
We don’t promote cold “resource trades” or profit-driven exchanges.
Instead, we encourage acts of kindness and help born from genuine interest — perhaps you offer someone a meal, and in return, they share a life-changing travel story.

This kind of exchange has no price tag, yet it is more valuable than money.

Along the way, you may be surprised to find that travel doesn’t just expand your map — it expands the way you connect with the world.

You are no longer just a tourist.
You become a part of the world — stepping into someone else’s life and letting them step into your story.

Why iTripMeta?

🌍 1. A Global Community of Real, Tangible Connections
We bring together travelers and warm-hearted locals from all over the world.
Some are seasoned backpackers, others are setting out for the first time; some are quiet artists hidden in bustling cities, others are “travel sages” living in remote mountains.

Here, you can meet people from diverse cultural backgrounds, speaking different languages but sharing the same passion — and experience local life more authentically than any tour group could offer.

🧭 2. More than Travel — A Place Where Stories Gather
Everyone is a story.
You can publish your own travel journals, read about others’ adventures, and even weave these moments into an online anthology of travelers’ tales.

We encourage sharing photos, videos, and words — not for “checking in” on social media, but to capture the moments that truly move you on the road.

💬 3. Easy Communication, Genuine Social Connection
Here, there’s no need to pretend or worry about “social anxiety.”
You can discover like-minded friends through interest tags, start travel discussions, or connect privately to plan trips together.

More than “likes,” we value heartfelt comments, real feedback, and honest conversation.
There are no “internet celebrities” here — only real, vibrant people.

🛠 4. Safety and Trust, So Mutual Help Feels Secure
While building iTripMeta, we have placed great emphasis on trust and safety:
・All users can verify their identity.
・A rating and review system helps you get to know others.
・On-platform communication records and reporting features protect both parties.
・We will gradually introduce user credit scores, travel companion verification, and other tools to make social interactions purer and safer.

The Road Ahead — Let’s Walk It Together

iTripMeta is a community at the beginning of its journey, but with a long and ambitious vision.
We hope it will be more than a travel platform — a space where people trust, appreciate, and uplift each other.
A place where no one has to travel in loneliness, get lost in isolation, or feel cut off by language and culture.

We believe:
・Travel can be a way of life — but even more, a way of connecting people.
・The world is vast, but here, you are never alone.
