MOMONDO PRESENTS

THE WRLD PIECE

momondo was founded on the belief that everybody should be able to travel the world because traveling unites us.

Today, our world seems more divided than ever. We tend to think that there are more things dividing us than uniting us.

It’s time to take action. It’s time to stand together. That is why momondo presents The World Piece.

The World Piece

How far would you go to bring the world together?

In a powerful display of solidarity, people from around the globe meet to create The World Piece. A living manifestation of the bonds that unite us across cultures and borders. In doing so, they state in more than words that if we dare to connect, the world can’t fall apart.

We hope The World Piece will inspire you to become part of bringing the world together.

The stories that flow through us all

The 61 beautiful and diverse human beings who took part in The World Piece together represent 70.3% of the global population. Each of them offered their body as a canvas on which to tell their personal story and show their commitment to bringing the world together. Their stories resonate within us all and bind us.

“Personally everyday that I scroll through my facebook news feed or watch the news, I feel hopeless. I feel so disconnected and scared for my future and the future of this planet.I want to be apart of something..anything to help us as a human race to be better. To put love and compassion before hate and prejudice. I want to share my love to anyone who will listen in hopes that they will see the world in a new light. ”

78% believe we need to stand together to make the world a better place

In 2019, we commissioned our second global study to explore the value of traveling. The study shows that half of us believe people are less tolerant toward other cultures than five years ago. But it also shows that people who see themselves as well-traveled are more likely to trust others, and that the majority of people believe that more things unite us than divide us.
