The Travel Calendar
Long weekends paired with places worth going to right then, each leading with its reason to go now.
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
