✈️ Trvlbuddy – Your Smartest Travel Companion

💡 Inspiration

Trvlbuddy was born from a solo trip through South Korea, where I realized how valuable AI could be while navigating a foreign country. Whether it was translating menus, discovering hidden spots, or understanding cultural nuances, AI became my silent travel partner.

Fast forward to planning a September 2025 trip to Italy with my twin sister—we wanted something more than a chatbot. We needed a true travel companion: intelligent, helpful, and always by our side. That’s how Trvlbuddy came to life.

It all started with this site bolt.new-project—built the week we booked our tickets (second week of june)—and evolved into a fully-featured AI travel assistant.
