Hey PH — solo maker here.
This started with an actual decision I couldn't make: Guatemala or Ecuador.
Two weeks in Latin America, travelling on my own, and both had everything I
wanted — big nature, serious hiking, plenty of other backpackers around. I
went back and forth for ages. What finally decided it was money: flights,
plus what two weeks of accommodation and day-to-day spending would
realistically cost. Guatemala won.
What bothered me was how long that took to work out, and how none of it
carried over to the next trip. So I built the thing I wanted: pick a month
and where you're flying from, and every country gets graded A+ to F on
affordability, safety, weather and flights.
One thing I deliberately didn't build is a "this costs $X a day" number. Two
people in the same country spend completely differently depending on what
they eat, where they sleep, and how much they shop — so rather than invent an
average that fits nobody, it uses real cached airfares to rule out trips your
budget genuinely can't cover, then shows what's left in terms of what that
money actually buys locally. The judgement stays yours.
The weakest part is flights. Most people price a trip on Google Flights,
which has no API, so what I have is cached averages — good enough to tell you
a country is out of reach, not good enough to book on.
What I'd actually like to know: would you use something like this to plan a
real trip, or is it more fun to just browse? Those are pretty different
products and I'm honestly not sure which one I've built.
Free, no sign-up, nothing to book.
