Join #wonderhood and become part of a burgeoning #social discovery #marketplace [#geekgirl]
Wonderhood is a social discovery marketplace where people looking for novel things to do can connect with everyday people offering up their unique knowledge and resources for a small price. It’s about inventing and reinventing fun stuff to do by empowering people to share their awesome passions, ideas and access with people looking to be inspired and entertained.
Finding truly fun and interesting stuff to do is difficult. It takes time and creativity which are often in short supply when our minds are so busy with work and general life admin. So we end up defaulting to the things we know, and too often those things are corporatized encounters – like you visit the zoo but you get the sense that the animals aren’t the only ones who are trapped in some kind of prescribed destiny.
The wonderhood team thought it’d be great if there was a place you could go to easily find authentic, original and fun things to do in your city or in a city you’re visiting. And they built this idea on the assumption that the person who can teach you to cook the best palak paneer in town isn’t necessarily a chef. No, it’s Praveen Gupta the hilarious historian from Heidelberg (Australia) who has a lovely home kitchen and would get pure joy out of using it on weekends to show paying people the culinary secrets that have passed down through generations of her North Indian family.
The power of Wonderhood is the power of unlocking the dormant creative potential held in every city’s minds and resources.
