Ocider: Pronounced O-sai-dar; noun; origin 2017: One who seeks to know a place through/by connecting with people, locals or otherwise. Usage in sentence: With his love for people and travel, Columbus is a true OCider! Ocider, our site, is exactly that. It seeks to build a community of Ociders. If you cannot connect with the locals, the charm of a city is only half the charm. The story of the place is only half told. Every person, you see, has a story to tell. From a man on the street (hawker, for example) to celebrities, tourists, students, the hotel doorman, the spa masseur, everyone has stories. At Ocider, we simply extract their anecdotal stories and experiences and understand the spirit of the place through the passion of its people and in the process, reveal a side/perspective of a destination that no one knew existed. And that gives us our vision – People. Places. Passion. We would rather tell the story of the guide who shows us around the Taj Mahal than the Taj itself. A forest holiday becomes so much more interesting if you have a local telling you story around a bonfire: How, for example, rhinos in Kaziranga National Park became fans of dal makhni! As we travel, we extract the juiciest details from people we meet on the way, and present it in a multi-media format. Read if you like, watch if you are lazy, listen if you are driving. Our images and videos also reflect our love for people: The face of an Eskimo here, the face of a Cambodian temple priest there, the face of a Parisian fashion designer, or the face of a Goan DJ. Right, we are literally a Face Book of travel. And oh, we are not about hard facts – for that you have the Lonely Planets of the world. In this increasingly intolerant world, we are about people to people connect. Aspirational, inspirational and emotional, Ocider urges you to move – from being an armchair traveller to an actual traveller.
