Randomized

It can be truly random, or interests can be tagged to give your trip a slant

 

Go places you never would have planned, laugh at weird museums, and see major tourist attractions either nearby or all over the county

Limitations

Planning optimal trips through a computer is impossible

Randomized Trips have inherent negative qualities but, the social aspect of Jaunt negates these qualities.
