Hey everyone, thanks for checking out our page! We hope you like what you see. Even though we're just getting started, we're working with companies like Contiki, G Adventures, Uniworld and Crystal cruises to inspire your next trip of a lifetime. We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, suggestions and which tour operators and/or cruise lines you'd like to see in the platform. Can't wait to hear from you and thanks again.

Thanks Travis! We are definitely hoping to add many more brands so travellers can discover the perfect experience for their interests, priorities and budget. We've got a few more lined up already and are always working on building new relationships with others. If you've got any particular brands in mind, please let us know and we will see what we can do!

Great map ux/ui! Any insights on how it was built? A lot smoother than other examples i've seen. I'm also currently working on something in the travel space and have been following you guys since beta. The jump in the product is huge! Great job :)

@haichenw Thanks so much Haichen! I'm so glad you like it. We're using Mapbox for the mapping interface which has given us a lot more control over the appearance and allows for much smoother interactions than the other options we tried. It is super powerful when it comes to styling as well.
