Local users post images of destinations in their own city.

[Fig. 9.4]

Posts are then browsable via the Feed and Explore tabs.

[Fig. 9.5]

Users can browse the Feed and Explore sections via a map view. This way they can see the exact location of each post.

[Fig. 9.6]

If a user feels inspired to travel to a certain destination after viewing a post, they can request an itinerary from that user.

[Fig. 9.7-8]

As users complete the steps for submitting an itinerary request, they provide information about their interests and other necessary details regarding their trip.

Once the request form is complete, the user can then review and send.

The receiver must then accept the request before they can then create the itinerary.

Itineraries are created by putting together a list of destinations for each day of the requester's trip.

Receivers can also be requested to be physically present and act as tour guides for specific days, known as Experience Itineraries.

The reciever can easily opt-out of these requests within their personal settings.

A messages area was created to ease communication and coordination between sender and receiver.

At the end of the engagement I delievered a design document outlining all screens and features for the early-stage MVP.
