You keep 82% of every sale
Sell a seven-day itinerary at $3 a day. That's $21, and after our 18% you take home $17.22. Six sales clears $100, and you wrote the itinerary once. Our cut covers the marketing that brings travellers to you, secure payment processing and the tech, so you never chase an invoice or run an ad.
Write it once, sell on repeat. Pre-made itineraries are only one of the ways to earn.

Concierge
Coming soonFor the responsive types
You're on call while a traveller is in your city, answering questions and adjusting plans on the ground. Best if you enjoy the back-and-forth.
Corporate
Coming soonPremium pricing to match
On-ground support for business travellers, priced at a premium. We'll open this once the founding crew is established.
All prices shown are suggested starting points, not fixed rates — you set your own.
The one rule
Every recommendation is first-hand or verified
We never pass along a guess and we never let AI invent a venue. If you're not sure, you say so and you check. That honesty is the whole product. AI can plan a trip to your city in thirty seconds and about nine times out of ten it gets something wrong: a restaurant that closed last year, a walk it swears is ten minutes when it's forty, a market that's brilliant on Saturday and shut on Sunday. GroundCrew puts a named local between the AI plan and the traveller. That local is you, and your name travels with your work, so your reputation grows with every job you take.

We process payments securely and pay you directly.
We screen travellers so the people who reach you are serious and respectful.
The fit
Is this you?
You've lived in your destination for at least a couple of years and you know the bits the guidebooks miss. You genuinely like helping travellers, you communicate clearly, and you're reliable when someone's counting on you. That's most of it. The rest we can teach.
Founding crew
You're getting in early, on purpose
We're building the founding crew now, ahead of opening each destination to travellers. That means the earliest members shape how their city works on GroundCrew and are first in line when the bookings start. If you'd rather wait until it's all humming, that's fair, but the founding crew is where the best spots go.
Apply to join
Tell us where you'd be crew. We'll follow up with a short task and take the details from there.
"GroundCrew is built by two people who've spent their careers in travel and tech, because we were tired of watching AI confidently send travellers to places that closed last year. Locals know better. We think you should be paid for it."
