As we continue to develop Everlater, sometimes we have to remind ourselves that it isn’t just for solitary or small groups of adventure travelers. One of the advantages of Everlater is that several different people can co-author a trip, while still keeping certain information private (if they so choose).

So besides people like us, who else would be perfect candidates for Everlater?

Bands

Imagine following your favorite musical act as they tour the country. Journal updates, stories from the road, and of course, lots of crazy photos will dot the map. Members of the band can have their own separate pages to communicate privately with friends and family, while pushing up some of the content to the band site, publicly available to all. Rumor has it that Nate and Natty went to school with the Boulder breakout act 3OH!3. Maybe that’s a good place to start?

Families

People, both young and old, are increasingly documenting their lives online so they can easily share the experience (and perhaps avoid retelling the same stories over, and over). Or go all out, like the Cardozo family, and (semi) aimlessly travel the world for an entire year! Families in particular are good candidates to have separate and shared blogs (the children and parents might have very different types of content, and different friends!).

Athletes

NBA players? Yes. Baseball stars? Yes. Rock cimbers? Hell yes! We recently met with Pete Mortimer of Sender Films (the premier rock climbing film production company) who was eager to get his climbers using Everlater to document their worldwide climbing trips. Want to know about Pete’s current trip? Check out the Sender Films blog.

Professional Travelers

Sounds like an obscure category, right? Well, no niche is to small when we fantasize about who Everlater would help the most.

We can’t help but think Matt (of Where the Hell is Matt? fame ) could have used our help before having a custom solution designed for him. Though that ship may have sailed, lucky for us, we were recently introduced to Ian Usher. You may recognize Ian as the guy who sold his entire life on eBay (for $399,300). His current project, which needs little explanation, is 100 Goals in 100 Weeks. We’re excited about Ian’s interest in Everlater, and would be psyched to provide him a way to share his progress with the world.

Stay tuned. If you know how to use a keyboard, and have ever left your hometown…we’ve been thinking of you.
