I LOVE perusing Travis for inspiration when planning my next staycation ..or something further North (*ahem* QLD I'm looking at YOU!) This is the perfect platform for discovering and planning insta-worthy adventures.

@sarah_worboys Thanks for your support Sarah, we are starting to have quite a few stories about QLD. Hopefully, you'll find some great inspiration for your next trip up there!

I quite often share my travel tips and itineraries with friends and family...in a dull google doc with heaps of links. I have recently created a travel story on Travis, and it's looking schmick! The interface is intuitive and really smooth so it was easy to put everything together. Well done to the team and look forward to seeing where the next updates take us :)

Thanks for the nice feedback @murone!! Glad that you are part of the Beta. We have lots of cool features planned to make the platform even more social!

Wow! Great product, I really need this in my next travel. Thanks and congrats on launch!

@kovalchuk_vladimir thank you for being here! Love for you to give Travis a whirl and hear your feedback :)

Was part of the beta, and have been impressed by the interface. Thought it was just for overseas trips (driving my own wanderlust) but actually works quite well even just to adventure in my own city (there was a section that was just for korean restaurants in my city (YES!)) - love that it's been adapted that way for our COVID times. Good luck travis!

@vincent_leung1 Thanks!! Glad you've been enjoying using Travis, feel free to share a few stories of your favourite Korean restaurants adventures too. ;) We're constantly learning how to make the platform better, what's one thing you'd love to get your hands on Travis next?

The scenario Nicole describes above is exactly why I have found Travis so compelling. A centralised place to organise your travels. It is rare to see a beta launch with the product/design flair that Travis has pulled off. I'll continue to use Travis to plan my travels and to share stories from along the way. Can't wait to see how Travis develops as the community grows.
Nicole Tj
@edoardo_neerhut thank you for appreciating the product and design work so far! Much to do to keep building on this.. especially as we are seeing domestic travel return in many parts of the world now. Curious to know where your next trip might be?

Have created guides with Travis and love the ability to automatically have my favourite locations mapped out on me on Google maps instead of manually chucking it into the Google map app!! The new search functionality is a nice touch. Currently using it to browse local spots but can’t wait to take it to overseas (vaccination come at me!) Good luck with the exciting launches ahead!!
Thomas Lo
@hespiria That is definitely what we want to achieve, getting rid of excel sheets and manually jotting down google maps and info. There will be a new release in a few weeks time for even better search function. Stay tuned!

Love this product! Great for local trips during covid
Thomas Lo
@ryan_fitzpatrick2 🙌 Thanks! Local trips are definitely important for local tourism at the moment too!
Kal Jamshidi
Love the UI / aesthetic! Couldn't be more timely... speaking for myself (and probably the rest of the world) I'm itching to plan that next trip. Love the social aspect to this too.
Thomas Lo
@kjam___ Thanks! Hopefully Travis will get to tag along to your next trip. Meanwhile perhaps a tag along to your next weekend getaway?

glad someone made this.

Love to hear this 🙏 Thanks @omerasif !
Michael Yang
Amazing idea! Definitely have been looking for an upgrade to cutting and pasting links and images into Google Sheets. Look forward to using it for my next trip!

@mikeyang We love to hear great feedback on this! Thank you for your support.
