How can we create opportunities for authentic travel in NYC? Geography of Strangers is a tool for sparking spontaneous experiences in NYC.
Geography of Strangers was born from the minds of three avid travelers. We noticed the amount of toxic tourism, mindless social sharing and over populated, noisy travel influencer industry.
Our findings showed us that the best memories people had of travel were the unplanned, the sporadic and the unexpected.
You can't plan to be spontaneous but you can make room for it.
Geography of Strangers is a personal travel tool to experience a place in an authentic way, the first iteration is New York City. Forget about the Empire State Building, hot dogs and yellow cabs. This is a game for the real New York.
