About the project:
The Travel Pad Project is a unique social and community experience designed to enhance your travels with a touch of creativity and connection. The main goal of this project is to inject some moss into your arsenal, foster interactions between fellow climbers, showcase beautiful works of art to the world, and observe the path of the mat as it moves from one climber to another.
Here’s how it works: We start by gifting the pad to someone traveling. It is then up to them to pass the cushion on to another person or group at the end of their stay. This process continues indefinitely, creating a chain of climbers connected by the mat.
For example, if you receive the notebook in Bishop but your next destination is Red Rocks, you can take the notebook with you, even if your travels take you overseas!
We encourage everyone who encounters the Travel Pad to share their photos and stories with our Instagram page, @travelpadproject. Let us know where the pad has been and the adventures he’s had. In doing so, we can follow the journey of the pad and celebrate the connections and creativity it inspires.
Rules:
- Do not store the mat or leave it at a trailhead or in a parking lot. One of the goals of the project is to encourage connection, so yes, you may actually have to talk to people!
- Be kind. To the pad, to the artist and to your fellow climbers.
- Share photos and stories with us! We want to see where these pads go! Do they travel internationally, sleep and then reappear, we are excited to follow everyone’s journey.
