The social travel platform · Free for travelers

Trepic — Mindful travel, beautifully told.

A social platform where real travelers share their trips and friends book the same ones. Free for travelers — you pay the same hotel rate you'd find anywhere else. Earn commission on the side when other travelers book through your shared stories.

What you can book

Flights · Hotels · Activities · Transfers — all booked inside the story. You pay the standard rate. Trepic never charges travelers a fee or markup.

Three audiences. One story-led platform.

For travelers

Plan considered trips with creator-led dispatches from people who actually went. Slow itineraries, real notes from the ground, boutique hotels worth returning to. Travel once, remember forever.

For creators

Get paid for the trips you would take anyway. Four creator tiers with founding-rate commission locked for life — earn up to 20% on every booking your stories drive. No follower minimums; we measure read-time and conversions.

For boutique hotels

Distribution through honest storytelling, not stock photography. Regional exclusivity, no pay-to-play placement. Pay for read-through bookings, not impressions. Limited founding partner cohort.

What travelers do on Trepic

Save the trips worth returning to.

Collections

A Trepic Collection — saved dispatches arranged like a bookshelf of trips not yet taken.

Save the dispatches you'll actually return to. Collections — alphabetized, sortable, sharable — are the bookshelf for the trips you haven't taken yet.

How Trepic works

  1. Experience. Travel with intention. Our journaling companion Tria helps capture the moments that matter.
  2. Share. Your experiences become immersive, searchable, beautifully formatted stories on Trepic Stories — AI does the journaling and memory-keeping for you, so you can stay present and savor the trip.
  3. Discover. Travelers find your dispatches and book the stays you recommended — directly inside the story.
  4. Earn. When someone books a trip you shared, hotels pay you commission — up to 20% depending on tier and property. Travelers never pay extra; Trepic is free to use.
