STAY CURIOUS. SHARE YOUR ADVENTURES.
WHAT IS IT
TREK is a mobile app that helps travelers seek out the best tips recommended by other travelers. We want to provide a friendly social environment where travelers can share their own adventures.
INTERVIEWS I interviewed 5 people and what came up often was time. Whether they didn’t have enough time to plan a trip or time to travel. People also preferred gathering recommendations from friends and locals.
With limited time and vacation days, I can’t afford to waste time figuring things out.
I prefer first hand experience from people traveling.
In tourist areas, I sometimes feel like I’m being herded like cattle.
PERSONAS “I’m always planning my next big trip.” Susan AGE 27 Occupational Therapist
GOALS/NEEDS: With a busy life and limited vacation days, it’s difficult to find the time to do enough research. She wants an option that will help create a loose itinerary for her.
BACKGROUND:
SCENARIO:
Susan is a 30-year old occupational therapist from NYC. She leads a very active life. Enjoys the outdoors and traveling. Travels frequentlya short trip every couple of months with at least one big trip a year. Likes camping but the comfort of a hotel is preferred for a good portion of her trip. Likes the adventurous side of travel and eating local food. While Susan embraces the backpacker culture, she prefers a slightly more comfortable travel style, also known as a flashpacker.
Susan has just purchased her first apt, but she refuses to let her circumstances prevent her from doing what she loves most. Being budgetconscious, there can be some limitations. Susan mainly uses online resources for research, as opposed to travel books - travel blogs, Tripadvisor and word of mouth.
