Painted Circle is your independent travel guide.
Painted Circle is an alternative to the mass-market travel resellers who are focused more on profits than good travel. We're not the biggest or the flashiest, but we work fundamentally differently so that we feel good about the impact our travels have on the world.
MEANINGFUL DEALS
We partner with awesome travel providers to get you meaningful travel deals, not just discounts. Our goal is to help you elevate your adventures while also supporting local providers.
ZERO EXTRACTION
Painted Circle doesn't charge sales commissions or fees to our partners. We think your travel spending should go to the communities you visit.
AUTHENTIC VOICES
We're making big efforts to bring diverse voices to our platform. We're not curating, filtering, scripting, or setting the narrative. Travel is about uniqueness and authenticity.
Some of our values...
Painted Circle is 100% self-funded by our founders who are driven to provide travelers with a more ethical travel platform. These are some of the values we bring to the site:
INCLUSION IS NONNEGOTIABLE
Everyone must be welcome and empowered to travel. We only partner with travel providers who value inclusion and who work to make sure they are truly open for YOU, just as you are. Read more here.
EMPATHY & COMPASSION
We think travel is about learning about ourselves and others. We approach new experiences as opportunities to grow closer and stronger, and we see our platform as part of that journey.
GREED SUCKS
Doing things just for money misses the point of doing things that matter. We get the feel-good-factor about what we are doing with Painted Circle, and that's worth more to us than money.
PURPOSE
We aren't motivated to copy and paste what others have done. There's a need for a travel site that helps us solve mass-tourism and bland experiences, and that motivates us to work for purpose.
TRAVEL IS ESSENTIAL
Human connection across cultures is fundamental to building a peaceful world. None of us should be scared of "others." We want to bring people together in ways that help each of us and all of our communities.
