travel720

Description

Imagine you're a cash-strapped student, travel720 takes you from shoestring to Beijing! Or… no money to Germany! Okay. That’s punny enough. Seriously, we’ll help you get from here to there!

We're building a community around students, helping them put more money in their pocket. Create a personalized fundraising page then invite family & friends to support your experience and share in the journey. We'll provide resources that help you get creative and confident in meeting your goal.

We focus on those using travel programs, like Greenheart Travel and ACM, where students can study, volunteer and teach around the world. Travel programs provide a great framework for students to feel more comfortable traveling abroad, however funding is often an issue. travel720 helps by providing a simple, social funding platform.

Why we deserve your vote !

When we talk to people who traveled in college we ask them where they went. Every time their faces light up and there's a pause when they respond. In that instant they're flooded with the memories of their experience. Knowing travel720 plays a part in helping to create these moments is not only what motivates us but also what brings each of us personal joy.

Vote for us because you traveled in college. Vote for us because you always wanted to and you support the cause. Vote for us because of the joy travel brings. Vote for us, please. All our thanks!

The prize money will create more jobs by...

The idea behind travel720 started with one person, but it has grown because of others who have contributed along our journey. We're focused on helpings students not only travel, but we'd also like to invite them along our adventure. This money will help us create a fund to help travelers raise money, hire interns (and pay them!), expand our marketing efforts across campuses, & most importantly we'll use the money to change lives. We're bootstrapped and proud. A little bit of money can go a long way and we plan on sticking around for a very long time. Small but mighty!
