About

Helps users discover new places, with detailed, up-to-date information tailored to the user (e.g. internet speed and visas for digital nomads, hike trails for hikers, etc.). Uses AI to help the user find exactly what they're looking for — e.g. "I want to eat steak at a traditional place" and get personalized, context-aware recommendations.

Related products/concepts merged into this idea:

  • Vagabonding App: AI-powered local discovery for travelers
  • Nomads.com competitor: Build out the backend, hook up to a simple frontend, primarily targeting nomad locations
  • GoNomad App: Nomad-focused travel companion
  • CitySwiper: City discovery/swiping app (React Native/Expo + C# backend) — swipe-based UX for discovering cities and destinations

Active development: Nuxt 4 frontend, C# .NET API backend.
