How It Works

One directory, three ways to get value out of it.

🎒

For Backpackers

Search the directory to find hostels, tours, cafes and services that genuinely welcome travelers — filtered by city and category, all in one place, completely free.

🏪

For Businesses

Create a free listing in minutes. Reach travelers actively searching for places like yours. Upgrade any time for featured placement, video, and homepage promotion.

🤝

For Partners

Sign up free, get a personal referral link, and share it with local businesses. When a business you referred upgrades to a paid tier, you earn 50% of that revenue.

The Journey — Step by Step

1. List or Refer

A business signs up directly, or a partner shares their referral link with a local business owner.

2. Quick Review

Every new listing is checked before it goes live, to keep the directory genuinely useful and spam-free.

3. Grow & Earn

Businesses get discovered by backpackers. Partners earn 50% commission whenever a referred business upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to list my business? +

Yes — the basic listing (name, description, location, contact details, opening hours, photo gallery and a verified badge) is free, permanently. Paid tiers are optional upgrades for extra visibility.

How do partners actually earn money? +

Partners share a personal referral link with businesses. If a business signed up through that link later upgrades to a paid tier (Starter, Professional or Premium), the partner receives 50% of that revenue. There's no cost to the partner and no cost to the business unless they choose to upgrade.

How and when do partners get paid? +

Commission is tracked against each referral in your partner dashboard. Payouts are arranged directly via Bank Transfer, Wise, PayPal or crypto, based on the payout method you set on your account.

Why does my listing say "pending"? +

Every new or edited listing is briefly reviewed before it appears publicly, to keep listings genuine and spam-free. This is usually quick.

Can I edit my listing after it's live? +

Yes — log in to your business dashboard any time to update your details, photos, or request a tier upgrade.

Do I need a referral code to list my business? +

No. Referral codes are optional — they simply credit the partner who introduced you, in case you later decide to upgrade.
