A short story

Planning a trip with friends is chaos a team sport.

15 WhatsApp groups, 4 spreadsheets, and still no one knows the plan. Here's how we're fixing it.

The pain is real.

Every trip starts excited, then slowly unravels. You know these moments:

📱

Chat fatigue

15 WhatsApp groups. Zero decisions. Every important reply gets buried under memes.

💸

Who owes who?

"I'll Venmo you later" × 8 people × 4 days. Nobody tracks. Friendships suffer.

🔍

Nobody to travel with

You want to explore but your friends are busy. Strangers are sketchy. You stay home.

🧩

Vibes mismatch

One person wants clubs at 2am. Another wants a 6am trek. The trip becomes a compromise museum.

📋

Plans in pieces

Hotel in email. Tickets in Drive. Itinerary in Notes. Receipts in camera roll. Good luck.

Plans that fizzle

"Let's do it next weekend" becomes next month becomes never. Sound familiar?
