From Preferences to Personalized Journeys

Community Signals and Social Context

Collaborative Filtering With Heart

Recommendations from travelers like you—solo readers, plant-based foodies, stroller crews—beat generic lists. Tell us your tribe, subscribe to themed digests, and watch suggestions feel instantly familiar without becoming an echo chamber.

Local Hosts in Your Pocket

Chat interfaces route quick questions to vetted locals: the bakery that still uses stone mills, the courtyard with shade at noon. Share a question you’d ask a host today, and we’ll feature the best answers in our next community spotlight.

Safety, Inclusivity, and Real Context

Tech flags streets that feel lively at dusk or highlights women-owned spaces and LGBTQ+ friendly venues. Tell us the inclusivity markers that matter to you, and help shape tours where everyone feels welcomed and seen, not merely accommodated.

Measuring What Matters: Feedback Loops that Refine Every Tour

We track resonance: moments you lingered, places you revisited, and memories you mention later. Tell us your personal success metric, and we’ll share subscriber dashboards that celebrate what truly matters to you, not just averages.
