Become a Local Buddy
Connect travelers. Build community. Earn locally.
What is a Local Buddy?
A Local Buddy is someone open-minded, who knows the local culture, traditions, and true spirit of their area. Anyone can apply by passing a short test. Once accepted into the community, Local Buddies get free membership, discounts on experiences and souvenirs, and can earn by joining eco-trips as co-leaders. In return, they share their knowledge to help eco-travelers connect more deeply with the destination.
Becoming a Local Buddy means sharing your passion for your land and becoming a point of reference for meaningful, sustainable travel, where travelers can:
Discover local contacts
Make real friendships
Access eco-friendly services and products
Feel part of a global community
Local Buddies can share local knowledge, recommend sustainable spots, and optionally offer their own services or products to increase their visibility and reach.

Community & Events
Local Buddies are also community builders.
Every week, a Local Buddy can organize a Localbird Community Event in a pub, café, or bar:

Get paid by the venue based on attendance
These events turn Localbird from just a platform into a real-world social network.
