Tired of "concrete parking lot" stops and Booking.com commissions?

"Hey fellow road-trippers! 🚐🔥 After 4 years on the road, I’ve noticed something simple: we’re all looking for the same things. Authentic welcomes, great local eateries, and stops that don’t feel like supermarket parking lots. But it’s always bugged me to see small producers or local guesthouses getting their margins eaten up by big booking platforms. That’s why I created TerraNomad. The concept is straightforward:

The pro (farmer, restaurant, small campsite, guesthouse) pays no commission to be on our map. In return, they offer a special welcome or discount to members.

It’s direct, local, and human. We’re starting in France, then heading together toward Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. Quick question: Does this kind of "no-middleman" network speak to you? I’m opening the first 100 Founding Member spots this Friday night (special launch price at 12 € for the year—just 1 € per month). Can’t wait to read your thoughts and see if you’d be up for this adventure! 🌍✋"

Hi Boggus, The idea is great. There’s real added value for motorhome travelers. I can also see the benefit for producers or restaurant owners since we’ll be consuming at their place. But what’s in it for, say, the farmer? Have a good afternoon,

Farmers in general aren’t always the most welcoming, but if they are—like it happened to me—a little gift or buying some fresh eggs is a good way to say thanks. Usually, I park right in their fields. [;)

Hi Boggus, yes, that’s a solution. In my opinion, making this map is a great idea. But I’m a bit surprised by the lack of responses on the topic—what could that mean??? Have a good day

hi there, I think the solutions proposed so far haven’t really convinced anyone. Plus, the travel world is pretty segmented—RV travelers aren’t the same as caravaners, etc. But I created TerraNomad based on a simple observation: no matter how we travel or how long our getaways last, we all have the same needs—finding a place to stay or park, eating, and enjoying activities. TerraNomad aims to bring all travelers together and offer them certified great tips, no matter how you get there. Mont Saint-Michel Bay is still Mont Saint-Michel Bay for everyone 😉 Looking forward to counting you among our members!
