About us

In 2008, two members of the MotoRiders Club, decided to take a journey to Middle East. They thought of creating an internet based communication that would enable them to share their trip with people and friends who might find it interesting and would like to follow it.
 
It was then, that LiveTrips first operated in a completely different way, since the technology of the mobile devices was not what it is nowadays. So updates (trip reports) on the trips were communicated via SMS, shown on a map with no photos. LiveTrips was just showing their daily locations along accompanied with a few words in every update. Viewers found LiveTrips very useful for following up the updates. After the MotoRiders Club returned from the Middle East, they could use LiveTrips to view their journey on the map and recall memories from their trip. Thus, remembering the journey once again.
 
When the journey in Middle East was completed, the MotoRiders Club were considering improving and expanding LiveTrips. What distinguished LiveTrips was its ability to allow users/travellers to transfer their first impressions and feelings of each place, as travellers could share these at real time, without them being spoiled by the rest of the trip or time passsing by.
 
Technological advance, offers opportunities to start implementing this idea of LiveTrips. Qualified people have joint our team and we proceeded to the evolution of LiveTrips giving it its current form. Now we can create an update (trip report) at the point of interest, attaching photo and text, save it and send it when an internet connection is available.
 
During the spring of 2013, the LiveTrips.gr site was launched.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Stergios Gogos and Elias Vrohidis and all the other travellers who have trusted our application and website for their overland journeys. Their feedback and experiences have been invaluable to the evolution and improvement of our services.
 
LIVETRIPS is a combination of the www.livetrips.gr website and a mobile app, available for both Apple and Android devices. The website features a map showing the latest trip reports, while the app can be downloaded for free from the respective app stores, Apple Store and the Google Play Store.
The simplicity and ease of use of our application is a result of its design "by travellers for travellers". We understand the needs and challenges of overland journeys, and have created our services to cater to those requirements. Whether you are planning a long-term trip or a short excursion, LIVETRIPS is the perfect companion for your travels.
 
When we first started, our services were mainly used by motorcyclists. However, as time passed, we noticed an increasing number of cyclists, backpackers, and travellers using various means of transportation, such as cars, airplanes, trains, and even sailing vessels. This diversity of travellers and journeys showed us that the focus should not be on the means of transportation, but on the experiences and stories of the trip.

The Trip Reports on our website and app have proven to be a valuable source of inspiration and information for other travellers, who use them to plan their own trips, explore new places, and embark on their own quests. We are proud to be a part of this community of adventurers and explorers.

Gradually, a beautiful travel community started to form, composed of people with different travel styles but with a shared passion:

THE JOURNEY
 
You can find things in common with other travellers/users, but above all, you can get inspired and inspire others. 

For the team at LIVETRIPS, providing this service and application is a labour of love. We do not gain any financial benefit from it. We believe that we are contributing to the travelling community by offering a platform where travellers can share their experiences and stories, and where others can discover new destinations and routes.
Our goal is to inspire and empower travellers to explore the world, free from borders, prejudices, and preconceived notions. We want to open doors and invite others to join us on this journey of discovery and adventure. Whether you are a seasoned traveller or just starting out, LiveTrips is here to enhance and enrich your experiences.
 
On behalf of the entire LiveTrips team, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the travellers who have shared their trips on our app. Your contributions are the driving force and the heart of our service. We are grateful for your support, and for the unique experiences and stories, you have shared with us.
Without you, LIVETRIPS would not exist. We wholeheartedly wish you all the best on your future travels: may they be beautiful, safe, and full of adventure! Thank you for choosing LiveTrips as your companion on the road.
