Sandy and Shane Muller…often nick named the Mad Mooolers, are the brains behind the new concept of TRAVEL MOOLA!
Being Gypsies at heart, who love to travel nonstop, we know the biggest hurdle to traveling is the lack of money. As guest house owners we know how hard it is to keep our occupancy high, to make profit and to market our guest house online. As seasoned entrepreneurs we know how to spot a gap in the market.
We are offering a solution to help travellers to travel extensively and to help establishment owners fill their guesthouses with top calibre guests. We offer a system that allows establishments to leverage the power of word of mouth and social media marketing, without having to take a selfie or click a button themselves.
We are building a community to connect frequent travellers and top-quality establishments.
It’s a community where you give more than you receive. A place to build friendships and create positive experiences.
A private membership site, to connect with like minded entrepreneurs and travellers AKA Digital Nomads. A place to promote, build and support each others businesses. It is all about a network exchange.
We would like to introduce you to Travel Moola. A community where transactions are cashless.
In a world where consumers are dollar conscious, we often choose an inferior place, based on saving a few dollars. Then the superior places land up dropping their rates to compete. This creates a price war, which benefits no one. We want our travellers to choose an establishment based on what they need and what they love, and not to be influenced by a slight price tag difference. Now our traveller can choose a place because it is bright pink and has a chandelier, which is their idea of a perfect room, and not because it is the cheapest option. It allows the authentic freedom of choice. Establishments will attract guests who love and appreciate the look and feel that they have created. Happy guest = happy host. Win Win.
Travellers are NOT expected to barter their skills and time.
Members are held accountable and rewarded for being kind human beings via our unique review process. Establishments rate travellers. Travellers rate establishments and hosts.
Our unique identifying badge system allows travellers to find their perfect accommodation.
Majority of our Travellers are digital nomads. They are prolific.
This is a community is for entrepreneurs.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
– We serve Travellers and Establishments
– Travellers – anyone who travels more than once a year.
– Establishments – privately owned accommodations. Campsites to Luxury lodges.
– Travellers and Establishments pay an annual fee to become a member.

– Members are awarded 30 TRAVELMOOLA coins on sign up.
– A traveller can book a night accommodation at any of the listed establishments
– The traveller spends 1 TRAVELMOOLA and the establishment gains 1 TRAVELMOOLA.
– The traveller now has 29 Moola Coins, the establishment has 31 Moola Coins.

– Surprise Bonus TRAVELMOOLA is awarded to members from time to time.
– Therefore with the correct planning, you can travel for free for ever! This is our main goal fo you!
– This is an exchange barter type deal – the establishment provides an amazing nights accommodation in exchange for TRAVELMOOLA, and the traveller has to provide a VIDEO REVIEW of the property, to say thank you. The video reviews are posted on our site and it is shared on the travellers social media. (This is not negotiable! This is our TnC’s) The potential reach of this is enormous. So much further than any establishment could hope to achieve on their own. This increases the travellers followers and promotes the establishment in a very authentic way. A win – win. The way we like it.

The second thing that we are hugely passionate about is Entrepreneurship!
Not only are we connecting travellers and establishments for a nights accommodation, we are also providing a place where entrepreneurs and digital nomads can meet, collaborate and get down to the business of business and talk travel of course.
Our agents are given extensive marketing training and constant mentorship. They have an exclusive Facebook group where they interact.
Not only do they get detailed training on how to promote our business, the training is in depth and will help them grow their own businesses. This is how we share our extensive entrepreneurial skills, to assist and enable others to improve and take their own business to the next level.
All members will be offered an optional customized sales page. This is where they can advertise and sell their own products, services, books, digital courses and even promote their guesthouse. As long as it is relevant to travellers and establishments. Purchases can be made with TRAVELMOOLA or secure online credit card payments.
And yes of course the Mullers will provide free training on how to create a sales page that really converts and many other cool digital courses and resources.
In time Digital Nomad Collaboration events around the world will also be advertised here!
As travellers also love to partake in adventure activities, we will be adding this section, in the near future. Drop us an email if you want to advertise your adventure activity – you will be the first to be offered the opportunity (add link)
