The Indie Travel Podcast Community is the friendliest travel community on the web.

Our goal is to create a useful travel resource for you without the ego and snarkiness many travel forums are stuck with. Our community of worldwide travellers welcomes people who have never travelled along with those in the 50-countries-and-counting category.

How do I find things?

You can always navigate around using the black bar at the top of the screen:
My account lets you see your and your friends’ activity, edit your profile and upload a profile picture, send messages and friendship requests, edit your settings, and sign out.
Notifications will light up with a number when you have new messages sent through.
Community allows you to jump to the latest activity, forums, members listing, and groups directory. If you haven’t registered yet, you can do that there too.
Booking Center is a place to buy your accommodation, flights and travel insurance, as well as check out recent deals and travel packages. Indie Travel Podcast is completely free because of the commissions we get through this. Please keep it running by shopping through us.
