A travel community for people
who'd rather talk to humans
than read reviews
Real tips from real travelers. No sponsored content, no algorithms — just honest conversations about airlines, destinations, packing, loyalty hacks, and wherever the discussion goes.
About Us
Built by travelers, for travelers
We're Sean and David, and we built TalkTravel because we missed the internet's best era — forums where regulars recognized each other, knowledge built up over time, and you could ask a weird specific question and someone who'd actually been there would give you a real answer.
Sean previously led product at a social app with over 30 million users and serves on the board of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association. David brings deep expertise in engineering and community infrastructure. Together, they're building the travel community they always wanted to join.
