TripWhims
About Us
Big Escapes on a Small Whim.
Sometimes, all it takes to start planning a trip is a beautiful place you saw in a video. Other times, it's a surprisingly good flight deal that makes you think, "Why not?"
We think some of the best travel experiences start with moments like these.
That's the idea behind TripWhims — a place to discover somewhere worth going and find travel deals that might just get you there.
The Idea
We started TripWhims with two simple ideas: help people discover great travel deals, and inspire them to explore places they might never have considered visiting.
Most travel websites are built around a destination you already have in mind. You enter where you want to go, choose your dates, and compare prices.
But what if you haven't decided where to go yet?
What if you're simply looking for inspiration, or waiting for a great deal to give you a reason to pack your bags?
That's where TripWhims comes in.
What You'll Find on TripWhims
Drops — Great trips start with great prices.
Drops is our travel deals section. We use data and algorithms to discover interesting prices on flights, hotels, and vacation packages.
Instead of making you search for every possible destination, we want to help you discover travel opportunities you might otherwise miss.
Vibes — Find your next "I want to go there" moment.
There are incredible places all over the world, and sometimes a short video is all it takes to make you want to visit one.
Vibes brings together travel inspiration from social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, helping you discover destinations, experiences, and places worth adding to your wish list.
Whether you're drawn to a quiet beach, a lively city, or somewhere you've never heard of, there's always something new to discover.
A Little About Us
We're a small team of people who love traveling and building things for the internet.
We're not a big travel corporation, and we don't have some extraordinary founding story.
We just enjoy discovering new places, finding good deals, and creating useful products.
TripWhims started as a simple idea, and we're building it one step at a time.
There's still plenty we want to improve, plenty we want to try, and probably a few things we'll get wrong along the way. That's part of building something new.
Who Is TripWhims For?
TripWhims is for curious travelers.
For people who love exploring new destinations, even when they don't have a trip planned.
For flexible travelers who are happy to let a good deal help decide where they go next.
And for anyone who has ever watched a travel video and thought, "I wish I could go there."
We're currently focused on the US travel market, but our long-term goal is to welcome English-speaking travelers from around the world.
How We Keep TripWhims Free
TripWhims is free to explore.
When you find something you like, you'll usually be directed to an airline, hotel, or travel partner to complete your booking. Some offers may also be booked directly through TripWhims.
We may earn a commission when you make a booking through certain partner links. These partnerships help us keep the website running and continue improving it.
What's Next?
We're still early in our journey.
Today, Drops helps you discover travel deals, while Vibes helps you discover places worth visiting.
Over time, we want to bring these experiences closer together.
Imagine seeing an amazing destination, getting inspired, and finding a travel deal that makes going there a real possibility.
That's the kind of experience we're working toward.
Because we believe travel doesn't always have to begin with a plan.
Sometimes, it just starts with a whim.
