The Joy of Travel, Without the Chaos

In my last thread, I shared how the chaos of planning inspired us to build GemsAround 💎.

Now let’s dive into what we’re actually building 👇

At its heart, GemsAround is simple:

🎥 Short travel reels from locals & travelers

🗺️ An interactive map (History & Art, Nature, Foodie, Hidden Gems, Activities, Main Attractions)

📌 Save & build itineraries in seconds

Instead of endless blogs, Google searches, or random TikToks, imagine all the best museums, hikes, murals, viewpoints—mapped in one place. Are we missing a place?- Feel free to add it yourself and become a contribuitor! 

The map is fully interactive. You can filter by vibe, distance, or category. And the best part?

➡️ GemsAround builds the most logical route for you.

No more calculating “which place first?” Just pick, save, and go. Export your plan straight to Google Maps (or similar).

⚡ Swipe through gems

📝 Add to your trip plan

📍 Get there with one click

Right now, we’re live in beta as a free web app. Try it, discover cool places, and save time & frustration on your next trip.

We’re also working on:

🔎 Filters by vibe (authentic, trending, hidden)

🧭 Pre-made itineraries from locals & tourism boards

✨ Special tours curated by us

Mobile apps (iOS + Android) are on the way, we're excited to launch that here.A premium tier will come later, but explorers who share content will always have free access as a thank you 🙌.

GemsAround is more than a tool—it’s a community of explorers. I’ve always asked locals for advice when traveling. Now I want to bring those local voices onto one platform, so everyone can experience their hidden gems.

We’re launching in just over a month, and I’d love your feedback.

👉 What features would make travel planning effortless for you?
