About Us

Hello, and welcome to StoodThere.com. We’ve spent a good few months putting this site together, so it’s satisfying to know you’ve come to visit. Hopefully, you will stay and become part of the community.

StoodThere.com represents a very simple idea - it’s a place were you can make a list of really interesting places, add pictures and information, and then share that list with everyone else. Other people can then join a list, add their pictures and information, and we end up with a mass of information on every great place the world has to offer.

The idea for StoodThere.com came from one question posed on a flight from London to Chicago: What were the 100 greatest places to stand on the planet - and how many of these places have you been to?

Having compiled the list and challenged each other to do all 100 within the next ten years, we then realised there were many more lists that could be created. From a list of the world’s largest skyscrapers, the best attractions in a particular country, the greatest sites in a city, the best pub-crawl in your local town, the most educational ‘day-out’ places for parents and children, etc. The lists, once you start thinking about them, can be in their thousands and millions - and all be of great interest to others.

The team that created StoodThere.com consists of James, Ciaran, Sam and Julia, but has been added to as time has moved on by Roger, Ingrid, Hayley, Paul, Sean and Andrea. With your help that list will grow to include as many people out there that ‘get’ what StoodThere.com is all about and realise its massive possibilities for pure fun, easy learning and sense of community.

We are, if you’ve not already guessed, a rather approachable bunch, and would love to hear from you with any ideas or suggestion you think might help StoodThere.com become a better place. Contact Us
