About Gather

## Our Mission

Gather was founded with a simple belief: the best experiences are shared ones. We connect people with local experts who transform ordinary outings into extraordinary memories.

## Our Story

What started as a group of friends frustrated with generic tourist experiences has grown into a platform that connects thousands of travelers with passionate local guides worldwide.

We believe that every city has hidden gems waiting to be discovered, and the best way to find them is through people who call these places home.

## What We Stand For

**Authenticity First**
We partner only with guides who genuinely love sharing their city's culture, food, and hidden spots.

**Community Focused**
Gather is about bringing people together - whether you're traveling solo and looking to meet others, or planning a group outing with friends.

**Sustainable Tourism**
We promote experiences that benefit local communities and respect the environment.
