Hi, I'm Darren Winterford, co-founder of The Voyage Co.

We built this platform because tourism income doesn't flow to the people who make destinations special—it flows to multinationals, chains, and companies far from your community.

You're the expert. You know your city better than any guidebook. You preserve what makes it authentic.

After selling my last tech company, EdApp, I wanted to build something that keeps tourism income in local communities whilst making travel more authentic for travellers.

The Voyage Co is simple: travellers pay for video consultations with local experts like you.
You charge what you think is fair, work on your schedule and keep 80% of fees.

This income stays with you—not extracted by internationals. It's about building economic opportunity in the communities that make travel meaningful.

We're starting in Italy and looking for the right local partners.
