Why Gather Travel Exists

Travel planning shouldn't feel like a sales pitch

The Problem I Kept Seeing

After years of watching friends struggle with travel planning, I realized the traditional travel industry had it backwards.

Smart, busy people were spending hours researching trips, getting overwhelmed by endless options, or giving up and booking generic packages that didn't fit their style. Meanwhile, travel agents were incentivized to sell whatever earned them the highest commission, not what was best for the traveler.

I saw friends:

Spending weeks researching only to second-guess every decision
Booking trips that looked good online but didn't match their actual interests
Paying for "personalized" service that felt like a sales pitch
Missing out on amazing experiences because they didn't know they existed

There had to be a better way.

I'm the person who loves diving deep into research, finding those perfect hidden restaurants, and creating detailed itineraries. But I noticed that what I loved about planning - the research and discovery - was exactly what my friends found overwhelming and time-consuming."]
