Ed Lester founded Calmer NZ Ltd back in 2004 and soon launched So Much World, the flagship website of our online travel presence. Our company purpose combines Ed's vast experience of developing high-traffic websites with a focus on premium customer service and quality with his passion for travel and helping people to achieve their "travel dreams". We are here to guide your itchy feet.
Whether you're learning to tango in Argentina, dog-sledding across frozen Arctic ocean or soaking up the Mediterranean sun from a Croatian sailboat, we'll be there with you, exploring the planet.
So Much World believes in travel's ability to inspire and transform. Travel doesn't just open our eyes, it whispers sweet nothings in our ears, tantalizes our tastebuds, challenges our sense of reality and creates memories that linger long after the holiday tan has faded.
Travel stumbles across love, invites adventure, speaks in strange tongues, pushes us to our physical limits and chills us right out.
As the adage goes, we travel not to escape life, but so life does not escape us. Whether we're travelling to make the world a better place or simply to find our place in the world, travel can make time meaningless and life meaningful.
Here at So Much World, we are creating an international community of passionate travellers. We want you to tell your stories, share your tips and most importantly, grab your toothbrush and come along for the ride.
We have brought together a talented bunch of professional writers to produce the highest-quality content. We also encourage user-generated content to capture the kind of insights that come from people on location.
Our world class open source programming team uses drupal.
You will have the ability to take whatever content you find relevant and collect it using our proprietary TravelBookmarking application. From here you can organize, annotate and print or access online, allowing you to produce the ultimate personalized travel guide. Travel Bookmarking is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with So Much World, bringing a unique customization to travel information.
So Much World will facilitate travel by offering flight and hotel bookings, insurance and other travel essentials from our trusted service partners. We will only present genuine offers from proven providers and will strive to ensure that your privacy is protected and your experience first class.
So Much World offers all the benefits of online - ease of use, community contributions, speed and current content - with the quality and reliability you'd expect from traditional print guides. With the flexibility to evolve, So Much World, like the experience of travel itself, is only limited by our imagination...
