Support for the Outbound Community in Turbulent Times

It's a tough time for many small businesses and freelance creators in the travel industry.

By: Kyle Frost + Save to a List

With travel halted, customers sheltering in place, trips getting cancelled, and more, it's a complicated time for many folks. As a travel-focused company, we're feeling the pinch as well, but we want to focus on what we can do for our community. Starting today, we're going to be featuring creators and small businesses who are being adversely affected by this global crisis. There's not a set of rules or schedule about how this works, we just want to help. 

If you're an individual creator (photographer, videographer, writer, etc) you can fill out this form. The easiest way for us to help is to send folks to a print shop, patreon, or other similar service.


If you're a small travel/outdoor business, you can fill out this form. We can tell your story, or send customers your way to purchase gear they need, buy gift cards, and consider *long-term* travel plans.

And without further ado, here are a few great photographers to get us started!
