About Us
At Travel Owl, we don’t just follow the flock, we chart new paths. We’re a modular, inclusive travel resource built for curious explorers and content-savvy adventurers. Our mission is simple: to deliver the most accurate, immersive, and culturally rich travel information by real voices, not recycled itineraries.
What makes us different?
-
Creator-Driven Discovery: We actively seek out and amplify local storytellers, niche influencers, and on-the-ground experts. If they’ve lived it, filmed it, or tasted it we’ll help you find it.
-
Modular, SEO-Optimised Content: Every guide, list, and itinerary is designed to be scannable, shareable, and adaptable, whether you're planning a weekend escape or a longer trip.
-
Cultural Context, Not Clickbait: From etiquette to festivals, we prioritise depth over hype. Our content is curated for travellers who want to connect, not just consume.
-
Verified Voices Only: We vet every contributor and embed social proof, so you know who’s behind the story and why it matters.
Travel Owl is more than a travel site. It’s a living, evolving ecosystem of trusted recommendations, local insight, and global perspective. Whether you're chasing cherry blossoms in Kyoto or street food in Oaxaca, we’ll help you land with confidence and curiosity.
Josh O'Donnell
Founder & Editorial Director
I started Travel Owl to build the kind of travel platform that’s modular, inclusive, and genuinely useful. As an editorial director and web designer, I wanted to create guides that work for every kind of traveller: families, solo adventurers, luxury seekers, budget planners, and those with accessibility needs.
I’m proud to lead it.
