The Pigeon Flight #9

Hello Orma folks! 👋

Welcome back to your one and only lime-yellow newsletter!

You know we are your urban travel companion that empowers you to explore cities like a local while making a positive impact on the community.

With our purpose-driven urban guides, you can uncover hidden gems, support local businesses, and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of each destination.

While you do so, don't forget the ethical-traveler best practices:
1) Choose sustainable transportation: walk, cycle, or use public transportation as much as possible to reduce your carbon footprint.
2) Say goodbye to single-use plastics: bring your reusable water bottle, shopping bag, and utensils. Combat pollution and protect the local environment.
3) Support local and sustainable businesses: seek out businesses that share your values and prioritize ethical practices. (Well of course you can find them in our App!)

We know, we know! In July and August the seaside is the n. 1 destination. We thought about that too: here are 4 book recommendations for you, so you won’t get bored on the beach 😉

📕 "Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five Continents" by Elisabeth Eaves: join Elisabeth on her captivating journey across five continents as she explores the transformative power of travel.

Orma is a startup that offers urban guides on how to explore and regenerate the cities that host us. The basic assumption is to leave the world a little better than we found it. What better way to do this than on each of our travels?

It's so important for us that every trip feels like an authentic experience to transform a little bit of you and the city.
