Remembering memories
I never want to lose the small stuff. The random meal that turned into the best part of a trip, the walk that wasn’t planned, the nights out with my partner and friends that felt like nothing at the time but end up being what I remember most. I wanted a place to actually hold onto those moments instead of letting them fade the way memories do when you don’t write them down.
Sharing and helping out others
Planning trips is honestly one of my favorite parts of traveling. I love building itineraries, figuring out the best route through a city, the timing, what to eat and when. I wanted somewhere to share that with other people too, not just keep it to myself. If something I put together can influence someone else’s trip or give them an idea they wouldn’t have thought of, that’s exactly what I’m hoping for. Optimization to see the most I can with the limited time I have is one of my favorite things to do!
Being able to recall places and give honest reviews
There are so many places, meals, and restaurants I’ve been to that I want to be able to look back on and actually remember clearly. Not just “it was good” but the real details. It also makes it so much easier to recommend things to friends or tell a story without digging way back into my memory trying to piece it together.
Helping myself for future travels
Knowing what I liked and didn’t like matters more than I used to think. Having it written down means I’m more prepared the next time I’m planning a trip, whether that’s a city I’m going back to or just applying what I learned somewhere new.
