🌍 Globally Based: Your All-in-One Travel Companion Now in Early Access

In this issue, I would like to share that Globally Based is now available in early access! This all-in-one travel management platform transforms how we plan, organise and experience travel in our increasingly connected world.

Why It Matters

I travel a lot and I hate organising my trips… I compare hotel and ticket prices on a few different websites, then I book on a yet another app. And why do I have to set my search filters again and again? Why does booking.com show unavailable properties by default and I need to check “Show only available properties”?..

Google also doesn’t reliably add flights and bookings to my calendar. If I don’t know a thing about the location, I google it because none of those aggregators can show me basic information about the place I made bookings to with them…

So you are unable to auto-check me in, although you have all my personal details and profile me? Why are you upselling me 5 days of eSIM plan if my trip is 1-week long? Cancelling Opodo Prime trial by calling a phone, you’re gotta be kidding!

Aahhr, the process is so complicated, time-consuming and simply annoying!

The travel industry has remained surprisingly stagnant in its technological approach for the past decade.

But there should be a better way! Globally Based emerges from recognising this gap and creates something truly transformative for all kinds of travellers.

What makes Globally Based different is its location-centric approach rather than the traditional booking-centric model. When planning travel, people don't think in terms of "bookings" – they have destinations in mind they’d love to explore. Globally Based aligns with this natural thought process, organising everything around locations rather than transactions.

The platform tackles the fragmentation that has long plagued travel planning by bringing all elements together in one cohesive ecosystem. It also recognises that travel is dynamic, not static, with real-time management that adapts to your changing circumstances based on where you are in your travel cycle.

Key Features (Early Access)

At the core of Globally Based is the ability to create a dynamic timeline of your trips and organise all aspects of them in one place. From accommodation and transportation to local activities and practical logistics, everything is accessible through a simple and intuitive interface.

The platform provides essential travel information like currency, power socket type, country codes, visa requirements and tax residency thresholds automatically based on your citizenship and destination (coming soon). It also adapts its interface based on whether you're in the planning, departing, en route, arriving, or at-destination phase – so that the most relevant info right there at the right moment.

While the early access version focuses on these foundational elements, the roadmap includes exciting additions such as automated check-ins, 1-click booking, integrated eSIM management, smart flight suggestions, iOS/Android tight integration, calendar sync and many others.

Your Feedback Matters

As we launch in early access, we recognise that the platform's true potential will be realised through collaboration with our community. Your experiences, insights and suggestions will be invaluable in shaping future development.
