Globonaut is an open storytelling platform where a crew of curious explorers share their ways of seeing the world. Culture, nature, and travel are our central themes. We always aim to dig a little deeper and tell the stories that often go unnoticed, no matter how big or small. The platform was inspired by a desire to create an open platform and community where anyone can share their stories about the world around us. But what does it mean to be a ‘Globonaut’? Well, it’s all about the mindset. Here’s a definition (that we totally made up): Globonaut (ɡləʊbənɔːt), noun: 1. inquisitive earthling that examines one’s time and place in the world; 2. curious explorer of the Earth’s natural and cultural environments. What are our main values? * Offering a safe space across borders to collaborate as a crew of curious explorers from around the world. * Freedom to develop creative content skills like writing, photography, video, and editing. * Shedding light on underexposed topics within the cultural world, including the travel industry. * Telling the stories that can make a difference in somebody’s world view, no matter how big or small. * Providing a healthy balance of diverse genres with a mix of in-depth and light-hearted content. These are our main genres: * (Photo) stories, like: The Most Magical Myths and Legends from the Dolomites * Travel guides, like: 5 Fantastic Reasons to Visit São Paulo in Brazil * Themed collaborative projects, like: The Love Letter Project * Interviews, like: Meet the Woman Who Hitchhiked Across the World * Essays and opinion pieces, like: ‘Schwarzfahren’ and The Fare-Dodging Gamble * Light reads, like: 9 Good Books to Read While Travelling Most importantly, we aim to offer a safe and accessible platform to freely develop your thoughts about whatever fascinates you about living on planet Earth.
