mmMule Delivers Happiness - and More - to Those in Need
Mark Thompson READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Would you deliver toilet paper to someone in need?
Well maybe not, but on NEW social networking site mmMule.com, you can ask for anything (that's legal) you want from anywhere in the world, and a traveler will bring it to you in return for a reward - such as drinks in a local bar, city tips, lodging and more.
mmMule is a social travel network connecting locals who want stuff with travelers who can deliver it. In return for delivery, travelers are rewarded with fun, local travel experiences. Started by a bunch of travel-obsessed expats, mmMule is passionate about building a community that will forever change the way people travel and get stuff delivered.
mmMule is about making it easier for people to get anything they dream of, from anywhere in the world, no matter where they are on the planet whilst also helping travelers have more exciting and authentic travel experiences in every country they visit.

There are now Mules from over 85 countries requesting and delivering weird and wonderful things like boutique coffees, vintage bow-ties, vegan oatmeal cookies and used clothes for orphaned children ��- and getting drinks, food and accommodation in return.
mmMule also has a social enterprise arm, AngelMule, that allows travelers to use a part of their vacation to deliver urgently needed supplies - like clothing, food, or used electronics - to organizations in need.
Welcome to the travel revolution!
