I’m a travel lover, and what really keeps me going is always having a trip in the works. I honestly think notripophobia is real.

When I'm preparing for a new place, I start researching weeks before the trip: I save the best sights, restaurants, cafes, and hidden gems into a Google Maps list. This way, when I arrive, I don't have to search around or stress over decisions — I just check what's nearby, and the exploration can begin.

Every place I’ve scouted out in advance is on a single map. This saves a lot of time and makes the trip much more spontaneous.

During my travels, I continuously update my lists, so over time, more and more great places get added.

After a while, my friends also started asking for these lists when they traveled to places I had already visited.

And that's when the idea came:

Why not share these with others?

This is how these map lists and travel guides were born — so you don't have to spend hours researching and can immediately discover the best places.
