The Before Maps Travel Philosophy

Before Maps operates on five principles. They're non-negotiable.

1. Scout first, sell later. Every destination is personally explored before it becomes a journey.

2. Small groups only. 6-12 people maximum.

3. Application-based booking. We don't take everyone.

4. Local-first economics. At least 60% of every journey price stays in the local economy.

5. Transparency over marketing. We publish our scouting notes, our pilot reports, and our pricing breakdowns.
