The Idea

The founders of gloveler have a passionate love for travel.
From his trip to Bulgaria, Armin Harbrecht brought back a bold vision: at the dusty train station in Sozopol, Bulgarians young and old awaited tired tourists with cardboard signs advertising private rooms or apartments.

So far, our team has stayed in private accommodations in five continents. They are cheap, conveniently located, and offer an unforgettable, personal sense of hospitality. Plus, locals usually offer the best tips and recommendations for travelers. Not even hotels or travel guides can keep up.

Unfortunately, private accommodations can often be hard to find, and even harder to book conveniently.

A centralized network for travelers and hosts via an integrated online platform is gloveler’s solution. This powerful idea, born in a university seminar, cast a spell on its soon-to-be founders, and enchanted local and international judges at various entrepreneurship and business competitions.

Our vision? Make booking private homes as easy as hotel rooms!
