About

Hey, I'm Matt 👋 I'm building Avventura from Fort Wayne, Indiana—mostly in my spare time between family life, coffee shop sessions, and occasionally sleeping. The idea started during a trip to Italy—multi-city, packed days, trains to catch, and spotty wifi everywhere. I tried a bunch of travel apps and none of them worked the way my brain wanted to plan. So I started building my own. When I'm not working on Avventura, you'll find me behind a camera, hanging out with my wife and two kids, or hunting down a good cortado. I'd love your feedback—this is very much a labor of love and I'm building it for people like me who want a travel tool that actually works when you're traveling.
