JOB DESCRIPTION
We are one of the fastest-growing online travel portals that feature unique content that inspire people to rethink about travelling in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.
Since our debut in July 2014, we have been experiencing a steady traffic growth, and we now have more than 1.5 million visits each month on our website. In addition, we have an active and highly engaged Facebook community. Majority of our readers are from Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia.
Our mission is to inspire travellers by sharing destinations they never knew about, and encouraging them to embark on a road less travelled. We believe in creating a world with effortless travel planning and free from scams, where travellers can go on a holiday without fear nor anxiety, so they can live life to the fullest.
Driven by a team of travel-passionate writers and editors, we’ve been curating and creating travel stories about Bali, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Lombok, Bangkok, Chiang Mai (and many more destinations) that you seldom hear from anywhere else. We pride ourselves as experts in creating engaging content that gets people talking and sharing all over the web.
Our slogan, “Not Your Usual Travel Guide” explains very well what we stand for to create unique travel content that would inspire people in an unconventional yet powerful way.
The team at TripCanvas has solid track records of past success and badass skills like SEO, sales, marketing, etc, and tremendous travel industry insights that will help propel the business to greater heights.
The key things that binds us are these –
We LOVE travelling!
We are not afraid of failures, and we are here to learn.
We are very open individuals.
We’re here to build a kickass company based on hard work and creativity.
Most importantly, we have fun doing this!

2. We love failure – Every failure is an opportunity for us to learn something new. The numerous successful articles you read on our website are often the results of countless tests.
3. We do things that makes sense – We do not abide by fixed ancient rules, but by what makes sense and what is right and ethical.
4. Frictionless communication – We practice a culture of transparency among our team members. This is how creative ideas are born.
5. We constantly reinvent ourselves – The world (and digital media) is constantly changing, and all of us here at TripCanvas possess a DNA for change and a heart for adaptability. This makes us resilient.
If you share the same mission and values, we welcome you to join us!
