What's your problem?

Planning a whole trip or just a single day in a different country requires a lot of research.

1. Searching for tips on "Tripadvisor"

2. Searching and booking day tours on "Viator" - a paid day tour online marketplace, or local travel agencies

3. Looking into travel blogs for advice

4. Asking friends that you know who traveling this place

 

Then you need to decide what do you want and make a plan for the full days. usually combining between few options.

Why is it bad?

1. Unless you know friends that been to where you're traveling to, and ask for their advices, all of the other options to get good tips for your trip lack the personal aspect. and people rely the most on personal recommendations.
2. 'Take a chance' - tips on internet can be reliable but not necessarily fits your traveller-personality. 

3. Waste of time. research can take long. and making a decision even more.

What's your problem?

Managing memories from your trips has different forms:

1. Taking photos and saving them (locally or on the cloud)

2. Running a personal travel blog

3. Posting to social media

 

None of these tell a full story of your travel days.

The closest way to really log your day is with social media's new stories concept where people take photos and add stickers and texts on them. The downside of the stories concept in current social media is that they are deleted after 24h.

The solution for all

Travel social network (invitation based at start) mobile app where you can see a whole-day experience of friends and people like you, including prices for taxies, checkins, place where people had lunch, paid tour they took, bar they visited and more. With photos, videos, weather at that day and more.

 

You sign in with Facebook, input the start and end date of your trip along with the location and the system will show you whole travel days of friends who've been to your location and strangers that the system think you and them may have the same travel preferences. You can also follow people you think they're good travelers.

The solution for all

The user will be able to create his own travel-day-story.
Once he starts his travel-day-story, the mobile app will track his geo location and hence will get the weather of the place he's currently at.

 

He will be able to log all kind of events - from taking a Uber to a hike, hiking event, paid tour event, lunch, nightclub and more.

 

When the day will get to the end, the app will offer him a video that will be generated for the day. with all activities, data about the distance he's accomplished this day and more.

Motives for usage

1. Save their travel memories

2. People love to share their cool experiences

3. Helping other people

Where's the money?

2. Promoting 'sponsored days' which include paid day tours

3. Let people offer a full-day tour and take a fee
