Part 1 of Building Travelton. A series on building a community-first travel app with Google's Gen AI stack.
The pain is real
Ever drove three hours out to a quiet village, all hyped up, only to reach and find everything closed? Shutters down, lights off, and the one famous shop happens to rest on Wednesdays. Sian.
Or worse. You come home from the whole trip, scrolling through your photos, and realise you were fifteen minutes away from an anime event you would die-die have wanted to go to. And you completely missed it. Nobody told you. You didn't even know to look.
That's the part of planning nobody enjoys. Taking "I want to go Kyushu" and turning it into an actual day-by-day plan that doesn't have you zig-zagging across a prefecture, eating dinner two hours from your hotel, or walking right past the good stuff.
