If you’re looking to reach young, savvy travelers, we’re the site for you. Most of our readers are between the ages of 25 and 40 and travel often. More importantly, they spend money on travel.

Our readers see the world as their playground and aren’t afraid to open up their wallets when the right product comes their way or the right trip presents itself.

Through savvy marketing, social networking and unique daily content, HipsterTravelGuide.com has shown growth every month – in every metric – since its inception in July 2009. Now is the best time to join  HipsterTravelGuide.com as a sponsor and be part of the site’s growing reach.

To pay for advertising

We have created a PayPal account to assist you in quickly play for and having your ad appear on HipsterTravelGuide.com. These are monthly rates and the quantity in the PayPal form represents the number of months you’d like the ad for.

We reserve the right to reject any ad for no other reason than you’re being a douche or we’re offended by your ad or we think your ad inappropriate for our site. But it’s got to be pretty bad for our site, have you read some of the stuff we’ve printed?
