Between work, family obligations, and the unexpected surprises life loves to throw our way, it’s difficult to find time for the activities we actually enjoy doing.
And when those free moments do arise, scouring the Internet for things to do at that precise moment has about as much appeal as spending a weekend trapped at a paper supply convention. It was from this frustration that Zerve was born.
For over a decade, Zerve has sought to definitively solve this dilemma, by providing the answer to this very simple question:
“Shouldn’t there be somewhere to turn to help us figure out how best to use that hard-earned time? To make the most of our free moments, to stop doing the same old, same old, and find what is new, unique and interesting?”
