TRVL
TRVL is a peer-to-peer travel booking platform, where anyone can tailor-make trips for others and earn money.
TRVL first started as a digital publication exclusively for iPad in 2010. It was co-founded in the Netherlands by entrepreneurs Jochem Wijnands and Michel Elings a day after they met for the first time at a friend’s party. It launched from a spare bedroom in Elings’ home.
Out of frustration with Adobe's publishing software, the TRVL team developed Prss, a mobile-first publishing platform. Prss was acquired by Apple in 2014 to help create Apple News and the Apple News Format.[1]
In 2015 Jochem Wijnands returned from Apple to turn TRVL into a travel booking platform where anyone can help anyone with travel recommendations while earning money. The platform is a sharing-economy approach to booking travel for your friends and complete strangers. [2]
