You land in a new city. You open every app you know. Two hours later you're still scrolling, still unsure, still guessing. TravelMind was built for that moment. Swipe through places, tell us what you love — the AI does the rest. It learns your taste and finds the right spot before you even know to look. Your taste. Every city. Live now on iOS and Android.

Congrats on the launch, Anastasia and TravelMind team!
I may be a bit biased here but I do have some insight on people discovering new places. I run my city's biggest travel Instagram page (@experience.sofia on Instagram, we talk about Sofia, Bulgaria). What I find is our best-performing content is often either "hidden gems" or "how to avoid getting scammed/overspending/some other problem". A huge part of our edge and credibility on social media is we are locals and we can bring you to those lesser-known places, some of which barely even have a Google Maps listing. Imo, this is what a lot of people are looking for in the era of overtourism - not to go to the same 2-3 overhyped places everyone else visits.
So, I was wondering how did you source the initial listings on TravelMind? Do you also have the option for users to add their own (as you can on Google Maps)?

@denitsapenchevavaltchanova This is exactly the kind of feedback that matters — thank you, Denitsa.
Community is the most valuable asset in this space right now — and experience sofia is a perfect example of that. The best places will always be found by people, not algorithms.
You can already add your spots on TravelMind and share them with your audience. Sofia through your lens would be something special.
@anastasia_chavdia I'll be sure to check it out :)
The taste-over-reviews bet looks to be the right call. I am thinking...as swipe learning needs density, what happens the first time I open it in a city nobody like me has swiped yet? Does my taste graph travel with me?
TravelMind
@artstavenka1 Yes — your taste graph travels with you. Think of it like a friend who already knows you, just landing in a new city with you.
This really resonates with me. When I land in a new city, it's honesty hard to explore everything by myself. But when I search online, there's so much influencer promotion and sponsored content that it can be hard to tell what's overhyped and what's actually a hidden gem.
What countries or regions does TravelMind currently cover? Is the global discovery experience available worldwide, or focused on certain cities for now?

@evakk You've described the problem better than most. The noise is the issue — not the lack of information.
We're live in a number of cities already and actively growing — the honest truth is that the recommendations get sharper the more people engage in a given place. So the best answer to your question is: try it where you are, and tell us what's missing. That feedback is genuinely how we prioritize.

@sam_ruedinger Great question — you don’t need to have been there.
two hours later you're still scrolling, still unsure, still guessing" is so accurate it hurts. learning from swipes instead of relying on reviews makes way more sense because my taste in restaurants has zero overlap with the average google reviewer. curious how many swipes it takes before the recommendations actually start feeling personal
TravelMind
@tina_chhabra "Zero overlap with the average Google reviewer" — we feel that deeply too.
You've basically described the entire reason TravelMind exists. Ratings tell you what everyone thinks. We want to learn what you think — and get better at it every time you swipe.
The short answer: it gets personal faster than you'd expect. But we'd rather you find out than take our word for it.
Monday me and Saturday me are different people. Does the app know the difference? Congrats on the launch!

@jared_salois Thank you! That's exactly what we're working on. Stay tuned! 😄
