Why?

 Join Us in the battle to uncover the local gems you never normally hear about, and support the muchbetter local businesses.

 In a world where most travel choices seem to be formulaic, mass produced, and greenwashed...a world of muchbetter adventures is out there.

 Independent, individual and personal. Run by friendly people who share your passion for adventure, live locally, and know the best spots.

Hard to find aren't they? If you have been lucky enough to find one, then support them and help others find them too. It is give and take - share your suggestion, and benefit from one next time you are planning a trip! Together we can revive the soul of adventure.

What happens to my suggestion?

We (Alex, Ed, Sam and Tom) will add all suggestions to the site so others can get straight in touch.

We'll check them out ourselves, reward the most ethical (or 'muchbetter', if you will) with featured profiles, and offer sustainability consultancy to help others start on the road to muchbetter-hood.
