Embracing the concepts of ubiquity and teleportation, a [peer-to-peer marketplace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-trips) that relies on [Blockchain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elite-education-city) provides an ultra-innovative way to travel. UbiatarPlay leverages the powers of technology, mobile application, and software to develop a platform that allows people to travel without leaving the comfort of their own home.

This innovative way to travel combines an 'Avatar' (local individual) with a 'Usar' (the traveler). In a sense, the former is an extension of the later. Directions are given via a revolutionary Graphical User Interface and the Usar is able to see and hear everything that the Avatar is experiencing.

As a P2P marketplace, UbiatarPlay has benefits for both parties. While the concept provides job opportunities and income for the Avatars, the Usar gets to effortlessly [experience different cultures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adventure-homestay1).
