Plan the journey, find the daily necessities, discover ethical food and intentional communities, and meet up with other travelling households along the way. ETC is your operating system for the road — a shareable itinerary, a map of what matters, and a real community of vouched men and women. Offline-first, privacy-controlled, owned by the people in it — not an advertiser.
Travelling households juggle a dozen apps, scattered forums, and word of mouth just to find water, a safe overnight spot, and each other. ETC pulls it into one place — and keeps it yours.
One membership. The whole journey — planned, shared, and carried offline, with a real community alongside you.
A man or woman who knows you and is already on ETC invites you in. You join as a known man or woman — not an anonymous account. That is what makes it safe to share where you are with the people you meet on the road.
Name your journey, add stops in order with the dates you expect to be there, and draw the route that connects them. Invite the households travelling with you to co-edit it. Add your offspring to your membership free — all under your guardianship.
Switch on the layers that matter for this leg — storage, farms and farm shops, intentional communities, traveller hubs, campsites and aires, and community-vetted safe spots. Filter to what is near your route.
Favourite the places you want to return to, build a wishlist for the route ahead, and mark what you have visited. Your itinerary and saved places cache to your device so they work with no signal.
Share the trip with a chosen group or household. For each share you pick the precision — exact, approximate, or hidden. Exact location unlocks only for households you trust or have vouched, and the share expires when the trip ends.
Other households see your dated stops and join you along the way. Send an "arrived safely" check-in to family and community at each stop — and if something goes wrong, one press of the emergency beacon brings vouched members near you to your aid.
Sam and Beth Ward home educate two offspring from a van, moving between communities across the UK and into Europe through the summer. Their route used to live in a notebook, three map apps, and a tangle of Facebook groups — and the families they hoped to meet never quite knew where they would be.
On ETC they build each leg as a Trip — dated stops, a route line, the water points and farm shops they rely on, and the safe overnight spots other travellers have vouched for. It all caches to the van's tablet, so it works in a field with no signal.
They share the trip with their travelling circle at approximate precision, and unlock their exact pitch only for the two households they have vouched. A foraging spot here, a week's work-for-stay there, skills traded in Unity Pounds — and an "arrived safely" check-in to Beth's mum at every stop.
We wanted to be findable by our people and invisible to everyone else. Every other app made that an all-or-nothing choice. This one finally lets us decide.
Member features are included in both tiers. Builder features are highlighted — they come with the Founding Builder tier. Features roll out through closed beta as members request and vote for them.
Build a named journey with ordered, dated stops and a connecting route line. Co-edit it with the households travelling alongside you. Favourite, wishlist, and mark places as visited.
Filterable layers for storage, organic farms and farm shops, intentional communities, traveller hubs, campsites and aires, and safe overnight spots — from community pins, open data, and member listings.
Share your itinerary with a chosen audience at a chosen precision — exact, approximate, or hidden. Exact location is gated by trust and vouching, and your share expires when the trip ends.
Your itinerary and saved points of interest cache to your device, so the next stop and the places you need are there even with no signal. Built for the remote places travelling takes you.
One press alerts vouched members near you and your chosen guardians. For a household far from home, your travelling community becomes the help that is closest to hand.
Let family and community know you reached each stop without broadcasting it to the world. A quiet, private signal to the people who worry — at the precision you choose.
Trade skills and produce, exchange LETS credits, and find work-for-stay along your route. Sell to people who know you in Unity Pounds at 0% platform fees.
Offer a vouched safe spot, water, or a driveway for the night, and curate the pins for a region or route your community travels. A living local map, owned by the people who use it.
The founding window is currently set to close in late 2026. After that, new members pay from £4/month. Founding membership locks in access for life.

ETC is a Private Members Association — a community of real, vouched men and women organising together. The platform is the tool we use to do that. Your founding membership funds both: the community and the software that serves it. No outside investors. No advertisers. No data sold.
No commitment yet — just tell us you are interested. We will reach out when beta access opens for your area and your route.
We will be in touch when ETC opens in your area.
If you know someone who would benefit — tell them.
Your vouch is the most valuable thing you can give them.
ETC has 23+ modules live in beta — from secure messaging and a community economy to education, governance, podcasting and video. The travelling-household tools sit on top of all of it. Most features have basic functionality now, with advanced capabilities added as members request and vote for them.
