Obsurf is a discovery platform for extraordinary cultural experiences around the world—the ones you've never heard of, but will never forget.
These aren't tourist attractions. They are sacred traditions, living cultures, and communities who have welcomed outsiders into their most meaningful moments. We believe the privilege of witnessing demands responsibility.
You are a guest, not an audience. Participate when invited, step back when appropriate.
Understand the history, significance, and customs. Context transforms spectators into respectful participants.
Support local communities, minimize your footprint, and ensure these traditions can continue for generations.
We curate experiences that algorithms won't show you—festivals, rituals, and gatherings that exist outside mainstream tourism.
We're not here to make you anxious about missing out. We're here to spark genuine wonder about what's happening in the world.
Every experience comes with cultural context and etiquette—because being a guest means understanding where you are.
No algorithms here. Every experience is researched and selected by people who believe travel should change you.
Obsurf started from a simple realization: we tend to travel to the same places, at the same times, doing the same things. Not because we want to, but because that's what the internet shows us.
But somewhere right now, there's a 1,000-year-old festival happening that you've never heard of. A community gathering to celebrate something ancient and meaningful. A ritual that predates recorded history.
We built Obsurf to surface these hidden experiences—not as spectacles to consume, but as invitations to observe, learn, and participate respectfully. Because the world is far more interesting than any algorithm will tell you.
We recognize that sharing these experiences carries responsibility. We commit to:
