Rethinking Travel Discovery
The calendar went through 3 versions. Started as a list, became just a map, and ended up leading with why to go somewhere at that time.

True Story
Why, When, Which Destination
I once went on a wildlife safari right after the monsoon, only to find the grass was too tall to spot anything. The destination was right; the timing was wrong. So each suggestion comes with its reason to go now.
A System of Whys
Reasons to visit a place change through the year, so every destination is tagged with one. Each has its own visual treatment, so you can tell at a glance why a place is being suggested.

The Destination
One page for the questions that come after "that looks nice", how to get there, where to stay, what it costs.
Stays with vibes
Hotel listings mostly look the same. The approach here was to bring focus to a vibe tag like Staycation, reviews summarised into a paragraph, and cancellation spelled out as a date and time.
Flights
Flight booking is usually the most cluttered step of planning a trip. The approach here was to show only what affects the decision, and to say it plainly
