Not to put the heat on another app right now!!
But I love having a spot to save travel recs and hole in the wall finds in the moment, and it‘s visually relaxing in comparison to Google maps lists.
its an app where people can log their favourite places in cities + countries across the world and its like trip advisor but visually pleasing & fun & not stressful
Whenever I discover a new place to visit, I immediately add it to a list.
It feels like I'm collecting an inventory of places and it helps reduce stagnation in my life.
Bonus: it's a great tool for making plans with indecisive friends and perfect to share with tourists!
As a lover of PI.FYI/getting/giving unsolicited recommendations for all things, I recently started sending my google maps pins to people I see traveling to places I've marked a few things. What's better than getting a recco from somebody real and not some dumb watered down sponsored Time Out article about 'Top 5 most instagrammable places in Seoul' etc etc etc. Ew. Here's a list I made while working in London for a month. There is what I like to think a good range from obvious trendy wine bars down to things I stumbled past while ambling around. Plus I think that giving good travel recs gives good travel karma!
Nothing better than wearing a perfect outfit and walking past another perfectly dressed person, and you share a long up and down look - with intimate, mysterious, eye contact.
You‘re both truly bonded in that moment.
Drunkenly left this perfect vintage tshirt in a pub and cried for the rest of the night…still deluded and attached to the idea that I’ll find one again someday
