TRAVEL BETTER.
BE THE CHANGE.
Why Painted Circle
Painted Circle is an independent travel guide connecting you with purpose-driven travel businesses around the world. It’s free to join — and built for travelers who care about the impact of their adventures.
KEEP YOUR MONEY LOCAL
Your booking supports the business you visit, not a corporate middleman. Painted Circle helps you book direct without fees or markups, and we don’t take sales commissions, either.
FIND THE HIDDEN GEMS
From mountain villages to street art walks, natural wonders to culinary experiences, discover places you’d otherwise miss on mass-market travel sites.
SUPPORT WHAT MATTERS
Every travel provider in our directory meets our commitment to Inclusion & Belonging. You can also find businesses that are working on sustainability and community impact as part of our mission to support ESG and DEAI initiatives through travel.

A GAME-CHANGING APPROACH
Tourism is one of the world's largest industries — that means our impact is huge. Painted Circle is challenging the old business models that put profits above people and places. We're part of a movement to support justice, sustainability, and regenerative communities through tourism.
YOU CAN BE THE TRAVELER WHO MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Travel comes with an impact - make sure your is the one you want.
Your Journeys, Your Impact
Booking travel through big booking sites comes at a high cost for local communities, and means your money may not always support the kind of businesses aligned with your values. Travel can be transformative, but only when you travel with intention. Painted Circle’s travel directory helps you find and connect directly with top-rated, authentic experience providers around the world.
