Embarq on a journey.

Let's face it - no matter how much we yearn to hop on a plane and see the world, the high costs of travelling seriously hinder us from fully satisfying our itching wanderlusts.

But Air Canada is trying to change that. The airline company has launched an online application called Embarq, which allows individuals to set up a crowdfunding campaign so that friends and family can contribute to their travel budgets.

The application lets you indicate what type of event you are looking to fund, whether it be a wedding, a graduation or even a birthday. You can create a profile and choose your desired destination, as well as invite friends and family to your campaign via social media.

At the end of the crowdfunding, the amount raised is put into an Air Canada eGift Card that you can then redeem for trip expenses.
