Hi,

My name is Lukas and I'm a fan of all kind of travel and maps!

I live it the south of Sweden work and Im a 37 year old constructor and a painter. I´ve been editing on OpenStreetMmap since 2010 and I´ve always love to travel and meeting people. Im traveling as much as I can and I´ve been around Europe, Central/South/ America, Middle East, USA and Japan. This led me to Costa Rica where I have my own "getaway" since 11 years. But now I have my eyes set on Iran, India and beyond... :)

Since a few years back I started to think of a travel layer built on OSM. One thing led to another so me and my English friend Graeme built a platform that we call Travpad.org. When hitchhiking on a dusty road in the south of Costa Rica, Graeme asked me how far it was to the next bar. A conversation took place about a crowdsourced travel map.

TravPad.org is the local map-based travel guide.

Crowdsourced guide, made by locals and travellers. Just like you. Is something missing? Add it yourself on the map.It can be about anything! Notice some information is wrong? Change it! Travpad is a free, map-based “Wikipedia” for travellers. Its built with the same excitement in mind that you have when you map the world with OpenStreetMaps.
