Create a Journey

Before filling up the applying form to create a Journey you need to understand what is a Journey at DDH.

Some people call it BlablAirMe, saying it is a mix between Airbnb, BlablaCar and GoFundMe. Having these concepts in mind, a Journey is a project while moving. But even more than that, because you need no house and no car. A Journey is from anyone to everyone.

It is intentionally oriented to all people who are in transit and who can help and be helped by a cause, a goal or a mission.

It is part of the deal as soon as you post on DDH, 10% of the money raised is automatically donated to projects in the country you have chosen to visit.And there's more too. In fact, you will be able to stop and see these projects on the ground. You will learn a little about the community initiative and understand exactly where your money went. In choosing these key projects, we put a strong emphasis on education.

We don't want to become presidential about it, but we really believe that children are our future. We truly believe that travel can make the world a better place and, to that end, we have focused our major travel efforts on three main areas: environment, learning resources and leisure activities.

Some important information you need to know about your own Journey before applying for publication:

What's the Overview of the Journey?

Here is the full description of your Journey. Make as many questions as you want, and keep the answer simple and short. Some questions you may want to start with:

Can people travel with you?

Which cities are you going to visit?

Do you have a schedule of the stops?

What's the reason of the journey?

Which language(s) will you offer your Journey in? You should be able to read, write, and speak in this language.

Let's describe your Journey

What will you and your guests do?

• Provide specific plans from start to finish, not multiple ideas or options

• Describe what makes your experience special—something that guests wouldn’t do on their own

Which countries are you going to visit?

It is necessary to know which borders you need to cross, regulations, and laws while traveling. If there is people that can join you during the trip, you need to let them know beforehand that they are going to cross a legal border.

There is also the Geographical side of it. We all want to know if we are going to visit the French Alpes, or the beach of Taormina in Sicily.

We highly recommend to have maps with the road already prepared.

What we're looking for

Journey Hosts are passionate travellers who can make people feel at home while they’re trying something new. They must meet these standards:

• Expertise: Having exceptional skill, ability, or background

• Access: Giving guests something they couldn’t do on their own

• Connection: Making meaningful interactions happen

Let’s go over them together in more detail.

Expertise

We’re looking for passionate storytellers who can share a unique perspective and insider knowledge.

This could include:

• Being a well-informed enthusiast

• Having specialized training

• Having achievements in your field

Guests value hosts with a distinctive point of view they can’t easily find elsewhere.

Have you hosted this activity before?

• Yes, I’ve hosted or taught this activity professionally

• Yes, I’ve hosted this activity informally for friends or family

• No, I’ve never hosted this activity before

Access

We’re looking for insiders who can show off a side of their city that visitors couldn’t find otherwise.

This could include:

• Places only locals know about

• Interesting people

• Special items that are hard to find

Guests love going beyond the typical tourist destinations.

Which of these best describes what you’ll do?

• It’s very unique—guests couldn’t do it without me

• Guests could do this on their own, but I bring a unique perspective to the activity

• Guests could do this on their own without me

Connection

We’re looking for warm and welcoming people who can build bridges and help everyone have fun.

This could include:

• Helping guests get to know each other

• Sharing personal stories

• Creating magical moments

Guests should ideally come as strangers and leave as friends.

Which of these sounds most like you?

• I love bringing people together and creating new friendships

• I enjoy sharing my personal experience with others

• I prefer not to get too personal with guests

Tell guests (and us) more about you

How are you hosting on DDH?

• I’m hosting as a private individual

• I’m hosting as a business

• Additional people will help me organise the Journey (Great! You’ll be able to add others to your experience as Co-Hosts or assistants after it’s published.)

What makes you uniquely qualified to organise this Journey?

How do you help people and how can they help you?

What are the benefits for the people that help you? You can write 4 of them.

For example:

• I am traveling with my van, and I bring cameras and one seat available. I can take you pictures and videos, and you can sleep in my van while we travel. In reward I would like you pay the petrol of the trip and cook during the evenings.

• I am cycling the amazing Road 40 in Argentina. If you give me support crossing with you during some cities, I will write your name on the book I will write afterward. You can support me motivating and bringing me 1L of water.

For example:

• We are building a self sustainable bus to travel to Qatar 2022. For every 1 EURO you donate to Journey, you can win the bus after the Journey is finished.

• If you are in the top 3 of people who brought donators to the Journey, you can get into the planned Journey.

Where should guests meet you?

Specific address of the location. No numbers missing.

Add details about what you’ll provide

You can provide food and drink, special equipment, a ticket to a concert, or anything else special to make your guests comfortable.

Does your Journey involve any one of the following?

• Driving (Car, ATV, Motorized Scooter, Snowmobile, etc.)

• Boating (Motorized boat, sailboat, waterski, parasailing, towed tubing etc.)

• Motorcycling

• Flying (Plane, Helicopter, or Hot Air Balloon)

• My experience does not include any of these activities

Not providing anything for your guests?

• I am not providing anything

Keep in mind

If you’re using an independent business or other third party to provide transportation or equipment for your experience, you should include the name of the business and any other information that might be helpful to the guest. This only applies to transportation and equipment providers - you don’t need to list things like food or drink providers (but you can if you want to!).

Tips

• Try to provide special equipment that is usually hard for guests to get on their own

• Keep food or drink dietary restrictions, and physical limitations for guests in mind

Your Profile

Do you have any donation profile website like Patreon, Paypal account (or other digital card), or crypto wallet where people can donate to you? Which ones?

It is very interesting, and a very creative way, to read Patreon Perks for keeping monthly donators active.

Social Media, Content & Links

Please name all kind of social media you have for this Journey or personal links that you want people to visit.

Will guests need to bring anything to the Journey?

• Yes

• No

Who can participate of your Journey?

Keep in mind that someone booking your Journey might book spots for other guests. If there are strict requirements around age, skill level, or certifications, include them here.

• Minimum age.

• Parents can bring kids under "x" years.

Does your Journey have any accessibility features? (optional)

• Communication accessibility features This is how you communicate with guests on your Journey.

• Environmental accessibility features These are the attributes of the location of your Journey.

• Other accessibility features

What activity level should people expect?

Think about how active people will get during your entire Journey.

• Light

• Moderate

• Strenuous

• Extreme

What skill level is required?

Think about how experienced people should be to take your activity.

• Beginner

• Intermediate

• Advanced

• Expert

Additional requirements (optional)

Let’s give your Journey a name

Make it descriptive and unique so guests will understand what you’re offering.

Add your photos

We’ll review every photo before it goes live on your Journey page.

Your photos must have

• A variety of details and angles, including photos of people in action.

• Candid moments that accurately illustrate the Journey

• Good image quality—no heavy filters, distortions, overlaid text, or watermarks

Maximum group size

Think about what group size is best for your Journey. Is it more interactive with fewer people, or more fun with a larger group? Remember: If only one person books, you'll still be expected to host.

Public groups

You can host a public group for up to 10 guests. Guests who book may or may not know each other.

Private groups

For in-person experiences, you can host a private group for up to 30 guests.

General availability

You’ll schedule exact dates and times that you’re available to host before you go live.

What time would you typically start your Journey?

Later on, you’ll pick the exact calendar dates you’d like to host. You’ll also be able to adjust times for each individual date.

Journey start time: to complete by you.

How long is your Journey?

You can always change this later.

Guest pricing

How much you charge is entirely up to you. Enter the price you want each guest to pay and discover what you can earn.

Individual rate

Each guest pays: to complete by you.
