About Humbo

Humbo is our curious and helpful little puffin named after the hugely successful explorer Alexander von Humboldt. Humbo travels the world tirelessly to help you find places that you will love.

Humbo the website is for people who want to explore the world. Some will drive, some will bike, some will depend completely on public transport. Some want to experience the calm of a beautiful place in nature, some want to feel the energetic pulse of a megacity. And some will want it all.

We found that there are plenty of websites that help you decide how to get to a place, where to stay, and what to do. Humbo helps you decide where to go in the first place.

Create your travel bucket list

On Humbo you can read reviews of places by travelers from more than 100 countries. When you find a place that you want to visit, add it to your travel bucket list. You can see the places on your bucket list as a collection of beautiful cards, or as dots on a map. Here is an example: Jensa's bucket list

Get recommendations for where to go next

Rate places that you have been to and get recommendations for similar places to visit next. You will also get a beautiful summary of your travels to date with all the places you have visited highlighted on an interactive map. Here is an example: Uyen's travels

We are just getting started

The Humbo team is made up of Jensa from Czechia, Uyen from Vietnam, and Anders from Sweden. We are based in Gothenburg, but you might just as well find Jensa driving really fast on winding roads to arrive at a beautiful natural spot in northern Norway, Uyen eating her way through Japan and Anders enjoying a cappuccino in Italy.

We hope that we can be a small part of connecting people around the world, reducing the fear of the unknown, and encouraging you to try something new by inviting you to explore the world in a sustainable way with trustworthy destination reviews and personal recommendations.
