The Team
Trips is a community of Hosts, Guests, Digital Nomads and Blockchain experts.
We want to make it easy to book a place for a few months (zero frictions).
We are a distributed Team working mostly from remote, with in-person meetings every few weeks.

Riccardo Boccardi
Photographer

Riccardo is our official photographer, and the first photographer to have charged Trips for his services.
A traveler and a thinker, he would very much like to slow down this world; but, at the same time, he is too attracted by technology developments to rest, in particular when technology promises to bring more social justice, and rebalance the power by reducing inequality.
