About Host

The Wander Wave is the brainchild of 3 avid travelers who love to scrape every unknown corner of the globe as far as human knowledge goes, with the vast expertise we accumulated throughout these wonderful years of traveling, we came across a few problems that every traveler has to face once across his/her traveling days. The first and the biggest is "Pricing" because as we know, the human mind is rational and always tries to get the best while spending the least possible. The second is "Itinerary and Support" as it is still possible to make up your mind about exploring the unknown but where is this "unknown" you are craving? Hence, we decided to start The Wander Wave to ensure that no traveler around the globe ever has to face the issues we faced and never has to worry about his pocket before heading out for a new adventure. The Wander Wave Support team consists of the best of both worlds making your travel pocket-friendly and comfortable, offering only the best of what the world has to offer. We make sure that your slightest of the issues and discomforts are not left unheard. It is almost like we do not sleep, just to make sure that you sleep peacefully while on the go. Why don't you try being a part of The Wander Wave Legacy and it will take you no time to realize that "The Globe is the limit".
