If you love uncovering hidden gems, booking immersive travel adventures, or sharing your wanderlust with the world, mark your calendar for May 1, 2025. That’s the day Tripshepherd, a travel experience app blending personalized discovery with community-based tourism, officially launches. With a mission to uplift the people and places that often go overlooked by major tour companies, Tripshepherd is here to help the travel game.

A Travel App Built for Creators and Locals

Tripshepherd is designed to support local guides and creators. Built with content-driven travelers in mind, the app allows users to upload short-form travel videos, helping others discover new destinations and experiences. It’s a platform where storytelling and travel meet, empowering creators to share their journeys with a broader audience.

With AI-powered personalization, the app delivers smarter travel inspiration tailored to your tastes. Whether you’re after foodie tours in Ho Chi Minh City or art walks in Toronto, Tripshepherd makes it easy to book local tours and discover meaningful experiences.

Global Launch, Local Focus

The app debuts in Niagara Falls, Canada, home base to the passionate team behind Tripshepherd. From there, 2025 will see launches in cities around the globe, including Toronto, New York City, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Miami, Bali, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City.

CEO Daud Grewal, who founded sister company See Sight Tours while still in high school, knows what it takes to build something from the ground up. With See Sight Tours having received top rankings on Tripadvisor for Niagara Falls tours, the team behind Tripshepherd brings valuable experience and expertise to the new platform. Brandon Mimms, Head of Marketing, has played a key role in building anticipation for the launch, establishing a travel creators community, and shaping the brand’s voice across social platforms.

Why Tripshepherd is Different

In an industry dominated by giant tour operators, Tripshepherd focuses on supporting local tourism and providing a platform for the voices of smaller experience hosts. The platform offers a fresh take on travel technology, providing small experience providers with the tools they need to stand out.

But that’s not always easy. One of the significant challenges? Finding those exceptional experiences to feature in the app. The team works tirelessly to uncover hidden talent through various channels, including Reddit, Facebook groups, job boards, and word of mouth. They’re also creating original content to attract hosts who care deeply about their craft and want to be part of a more authentic movement.

For hosts, Tripshepherd provides an opportunity to shine without being overshadowed. For users, it’s a passport to unique, personalized travel experiences curated by passionate locals.

Calling All Creators and Experience Hosts

If you’re a Gen Z traveler with a knack for content creation or a local guide offering something special that deserves the spotlight, Tripshepherd wants you. This short-form travel video app represents the next step in community-based, immersive travel experiences.

The countdown is on. May 1 is just around the corner, and Tripshepherd is ready to inspire, connect, and reshape how we explore the world. Download the app, book local, and become part of a new era in travel.
