Worldfarer

Plan the trip the way a friend who's been would.

You tell Worldfarer where you're going and what you actually want to do there. It writes back a plan you can use, with the right month, a rough budget, and a day by day. Every fact points at where it came from. You can see who said gorilla permits sell out four months ahead, or that Kyoto in early December is empty.

What people send Worldfarer

Four prompts, four kinds of trip.

The output below is a sample of what the app produces. Window, length, indicative budget, day skeleton, source count. The full plan inside includes every citation, the practical notes (visa, vaccines, safety, money), and an honest read on whether the trip fits how you actually travel.

How it works

It learns from real travel writing.

People paste in the pieces they trust. A Substack they subscribe to. A thread from r/solotravel that helped them last year. A transcript from a YouTube reviewer worth listening to. When you ask for a plan, Worldfarer pulls the most relevant pieces in first and writes around them. Every fact in the plan points at the piece it came from.

It learns how you travel.

You set the basics once. How fast you move. How nice you sleep. How far you'll fly. You won't get a packed nine-stops-in-ten-days plan if you've told it you like slow mornings. When you get back from a trip, the app asks what worked and what you skipped, and the next plan knows you a bit better.

It tells you when it's guessing.

If nobody's written much about, say, Lebanon in October, the plan says so out loud rather than inventing something. Paste in a few good sources, regenerate, and watch the plan get more confident. The numbers are estimates for your research. There's nothing here to buy.

Worldfarer is for people who'd rather plan one good trip a year and actually take it, than scroll a hundred and book none.
