Travel & serendipity

Travel has always been part of how humanity has broadened its horizons and minds.

Humans are more mobile than ever before, but we're still passengers in an industrial-era travel infrastructure.

Paradoxically, industry has been using sophisticated informatics for lowering the economic and environmental costs of transporting goods for decades.

A new age of personal travel information tools will change this, and to illustrate this we'll talk through our thoughts in developing Dopplr.

Dopplr is a service we hope will play a part in this change: to increase serendipity in your social world, lower the impact of travel on our biosphere and help create a new golden age of travel.

Don't worry though.

This won't be a sales pitch for anything other than getting all of us to rethink and rehumanise travel - and look at tools to help us do so.
