Hello
I’m terrible at planning trips. I’m looking for someone with experience who can plan a trip for me to Europe.
Someone who can suggest things to do, destinations and hotels. If anyone has experience in offering this kind of service it would be appreciated and obviously would be compensated for the service.
One of the most annoying parts of travelling for me has always been keeping track of my itinerary. I can deal with planning and following my schedule when it comes to short trips, but I struggle when a holiday becomes longer than just a weekend. In the past, I tried to use tools like Calendar, Notion, Excel or notes, but I never found the right tool that fit my needs.
So, I built Triplr, a mobile-first web app that keeps your entire itinerary in one place organised day by day!
I've used Fable 5 medium effort for planning and, after a bit of back and forth to get a solid plan, I let sonnet 4.6 and 5 do the heavy lifting for the coding part.
Some parts of the projects have been done manually, like the setting up of the custom domain, linking APIs and the support email and the security testing, but Claude did most of the job.
In terms of features, Triplr offers:
Flexible travel items
Every trip is structured into days, and each day contains timed items (flights, trains, hotels, activities, etc...). Everything is automatically sorted chronologically so the day reads like a clean schedule instead of a messy list. It also supports full-day and multi-day events, since not everything fits neatly into a time slot.
Document attachments
I've also implemented a document attachments feature that allows you to attach PDFs, screenshots, or booking confirmations directly to each item, no more hunting for boarding passes or entry tickets in your email inbox.
Packing lists
There are per-trip packing lists, where you can add things you need to pack, gadgets you need to buy or places you want to visit.
Trip covers & search
Trips automatically get a cover image based on destination, and there’s search across the whole itinerary so you don’t have to spend time trying to find a specific event or trip.
Account & profile
You can create your own account with your email or browser around to explore the app (none of your data will be saved in this case). And from your profile page, you can store and manage travel-related info and documents.
Roadmap
I've also planned a product roadmap for functionalities I consider important but that are not implemented yet.
The web app it’s live at triplr.cc and free to use right now!
I would love to hear your feedback, what you like and what you don't like about this project.
*DISCLAIMER: the web app has been developed using AI, but the post was written by a human :)*
Hey everyone!
I'm a fellow teen who's obsessed with traveling, exploring different cultures, and discovering beautiful places around the world.
Over the past few weeks, I've been building a huge bucket list of cities, nature spots, activities, and experiences. The more I explore, the more Europe seems to match my vibe, but I'm trying to keep an open mind and learn about the entire world.
I'd love to hear recommendations from people who've traveled or lived abroad.
Here are a few things I'm curious about:
1. What are your top cities in the world to live and settle in?
2. What are some incredible natural places or experiences everyone should see at least once?
Examples:
Hidden gems are even better!
3. What are your favorite travel resources?
I'm looking for websites, Discord servers, YouTube channels, newsletters, blogs, maps, or any internet rabbit holes that help you discover amazing places and expand your worldview.
Basically, anything that makes you go,
"I had no idea this place existed."
I'm trying to build the ultimate database of destinations and experiences for the next decade, so I'd love to hear your recommendations.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I’m 19 yo, male.
I have backpacked a little before like 2 weeks in Portugal by myself and Germany and Czech for a couple of weeks.
The time I would be going would be early or mid January to mid March, my budget is 7-8k USD.
My main priority is seeing nature and meeting people, I like night life a lot and outdoor activities.
The options I’m thinking about are
Option 1
- South America
Option 2
- central Eastern Europe
I’ve also considered doing 3-4 Balkans countries along with Morocco and Tunisia.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've realised that after a few years of travelling, my memories are scattered across Google Photos, Instagram, WhatsApp, booking emails and random folders.
Sometimes I can't even remember:
I also think it would be fun to look back after 5–10 years and have a proper record of all my trips instead of digging through thousands of photos.
Curious how everyone here manages this.
And if there was a better way to preserve your travel history, what would you want it to include (if anything)?

I’d love to hear your honest feedback and ideas for future features!
We have a big family traveling from Nepal about 8 with kids and small family from USA and planning about 7 days trip in Indonesia. Now since we are a big family we are confused if we get the travel package from agency since they will manage and organize the trip and might end up being cheaper. But also worry we might not have the best experience if we do the package and rather plan ourself and get Airbnbs instead of hotels if we want the best trip. What are your suggestions?
I was planning a trip to Vietnam a few weeks ago and as everyone I asked ChatGPT/Claude when is a good time to visit and got a confident answer that turned out half wrong (and it contradicted itself when I pushed). The manual route wasn't better, northern and southern Vietnam have nearly opposite seasons, so every "best time to visit Vietnam" article just confused me more, and I ended up with a dozen tabs and no clear picture.
As a visual learner, I built what I actually wanted: drag a month slider and the whole world recolors by whether it's a good time to be there. It splits countries like Vietnam into their real regions instead of pretending one season fits a whole country. It's El Niño/La Niña-aware and searchable down to cities.
No signup, just a single web page.
Feel free to try it out and let me know your feedback. Thank you! :)
Most itineraries fall apart for one reason, and it isn't bad ideas. It's trying to find things and organise them at the same time. You bounce between a blog, a map, three notes apps and a dozen tabs, and by the end you've got 40 places saved and no clue which ones are near each other or what day they should go on.
The thing that fixed it for me was doing those as two separate jobs. Here's the order I use now. It works with any tools, or none.
1. Just collect first. Do one planning session where you're only finding things. Anything that looks good, save it, don't worry yet about where it fits. The moment you start trying to build actual days while you're still hunting for places, it turns into a mess.
2. Match the ideas to how you travel. Every "top 10 things to do in [city]" gives you the same four landmarks. If you're a slow traveller, or you've got kids with you, or you're really just there to eat, most of that list is dead weight. You want ideas that fit your pace, otherwise step one was you collecting stuff you're about to throw out.
3. Map everything before you think about days. This is the one people skip and then regret in the taxi. Get the places pinned first. Once they're on a map you can see it straight away - these five are all walkable, that one's stranded on the other side of town - and the days sort of sort themselves out.
4. Drop your hotel on the map too. Now the pins actually mean something. You can see what's a quick walk after breakfast versus what's a mission you should only do on a day you're already over that way.
Everything pinned, hotel included, so you can see what's actually near what
5. Build days around what's close, not around the calendar. Take the clusters and give each one a day. Keep adding your own stuff as you find it - a mate's restaurant rec, something off TikTok, a gallery from a blog - into the same list, so it's not sitting in a separate note you forget about by day two.
That order matters more than it sounds like it should. Collect, map, cluster, then schedule. It's the thing that stops you standing on a corner at 2pm working out where lunch even is.
I got sick enough of doing this across spreadsheets and half a dozen apps that I built a tool for it, called Explorer AI. It comes up with ideas based on how you travel, pins them to a map, lets you throw your own finds in next to them, and builds the day-by-day. Free if you want to try the process without duct-taping five apps together. The order works either way though, even if you do the whole thing by hand.
I start with the map every time, can't plan a day until I know what's near what. Plenty of people go day by day from the off though, so I'm curious on other approaches. How does everyone here do it?
Hi everyone! I (22f) am a dental student and I have a break during the last two weeks of July. My mom just got a job at an airport so I now have standby flying ability. I have never been out of the country, so I am looking to fly to Madeira and spend the whole break there with my little brother, who really wants to camp and hike a ton there. I know I need to book camping spots and reserve certain hikes and I have verified there is availability. I’m unsure on what to do for transportation. I’m trying to be as cheap as possible while making the most of the trip. Has anyone that has been to Madeira have any advice? Recommend any must do’s? Or any advice for first time foreign camping trip?
I've been planning a few trips lately and realized how much time goes into just researching — YouTube, Reddit threads, Google Maps, then separately booking trains, buses, hostels.
For those of you who travel solo or with friends — how do you usually plan? Do you enjoy the process or does it feel like a hassle? Have you ever just given up on a trip because planning felt too overwhelming?
Curious to hear how others do it.
Hello fellows! Wondering between several nice places to go Koh Samui (Thailand) Philippines and Zanzibar (Tanzania).
Our desired vacation is beautiful beaches which are not overcrowded. Astonishing sunsets. And as planning to have a two-weeks vacation there have to be some things to do there.
Will be thankful to hear from your recommendations and of course if there are any other places similar to these around the world to suggest will be even better.
In case you've been there and liked the hotel will be nice

A – Answer: EveryVoyage is a travel app for recording the full journey, not just isolated highlights. You can record routes with GPS, save moments along the way, create trips, share updates, follow other travellers and build a personal map of everywhere you’ve been.
B – Better: Travel memories usually end up scattered everywhere. Photos in one place, routes in maps, saved places somewhere else, notes, screenshots, messages and random recommendations. EveryVoyage tries to bring the route, moments, trips, map and feed together so the full adventure feels connected as it unfolds.
C – Cost: The app is free to download, and while we’re still early we’re opening up a limited number of Founding Member spots which lock in free access for life.
I’m Luke, one of the founders. The idea came from something we kept feeling on trips: the adventure never really lives in one place.
We only launched around a week ago, and it has already been amazing to see hundreds of people recording their adventures with GPS from different parts of the world.
Not just the highlights, but the route, the stops, the little detours, the places you nearly missed, the people following along, and the moments that only make sense when you see how the trip unfolded.
The simple way to describe it is Strava for travel.
The tracking, trip recording, moments, maps and feed are live now. Next, we’re building route planning, discovery, gamification, animated route recaps and more, but we want those features shaped by people who actually use the app rather than guessing from the sidelines.

Would genuinely love feedback on whether this feels like a real gap, what feels useful, and what you’d want us to build next.
Thanks for taking a look.

I'm wondering if a platform like this would be useful.
Instead of choosing a predefined package, you could select your own destinations, hotels/hostels, transport (car, bike, bus, train), activities, and budget, and it would generate one customised itinerary with the total cost. Just like Add to Cart feature like you can add things such as places, way of transportation, type of stay, etc.
Do you know of any platform that already does this well? If not, would you use something like this? Why or why not?
trying to plan a trip for late sep with my wife and our two kids. our current map is 3 days lisbon, a day trip to Sintra, then heading up to porto for a couple days before finishing with a week down in the algarve.
my issue is the transit. i was trying to budget everything out manually on spreadsheets and the cost of renting a large enough car for 4 people plus all our luggage is insane right now. but trying to coordinate train tickets, matching up check in times at 3 different airbnbs, and dealing with crabby kids at stations sounds like a total nightmare. my wife came up with the idea to look for tours ( yes, i suppose we're getting old) and found at prepackaged itineraries that include multiple cities and guess what, it was cheaper, looked for reviews here on reddit, quora and other forums and ultimately indus travel packages seem the most reliable, they bundle the regional transit and hotels together. what are your opinions on these? they also give you possibility to rent car and the whole package which tbh is so good to have everything in one place
if someone traveled with kids (not necessarily in portugal), did u just rent a car and deal with the driving or is it worth paying a company to just handle the whole layout for u? any opinions are welcomed, thank you ladies and gentlemen!
Hi! I’m 31M from India. I’m travelling to Japan for 12 days from September 14-26. I want to seek advice on travel itinerary.
I’m planning a solo leg of the trip from September 14-19. From Sep 19-26, i’ll join my friends and visit Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo with them. But I don’t have a concrete plan for the solo leg of my trip. It will be my first trip to Japan.
I want to explore nature and am more of mountain/forest person than a beach person. I like hiking etc too. I’m landing at Tokyo on Sep 14. Online search suggests either Kamikochi or Hokkaido. I’m unsure which is a better option.
Between these two, what seems like a better option given the weather conditions, cost or any other considerations? Open to exploring other places too.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
