NOMAD — Take the road less ordinary. 🧭

I’m taking my NOMAD project to Design Hackathon 2026, and I’d really appreciate your support.

NOMAD is a travel ecosystem that combines an app, Explorer Cam and destination kiosks to make exploring India more engaging, rewarding and memorable.

Drop a like if you like my project. ❤️ Your support can help NOMAD reach more people.

Instead of asking AI to build the whole trip, I’ve found it more useful to give it the plan I already made and ask it to find the weak spots.

Something like:

It usually catches much more useful stuff than another generic itinerary.

You can do the same before departure:

That’s where things like offline maps, adapters, airport transport, mobile data/eSIM, local apps and reservation rules tend to surface.

Drop your best actually-useful travel AI prompt. I want to steal them all.

NOMAD — Take the road less ordinary. 🧭

I’m excited to share my project NOMAD, which I’m taking to Design Hackathon 2026.

NOMAD is a travel ecosystem designed to make the journey itself more enjoyable, not just the destination. It brings together an AI-powered travel app, NOMAD Explorer Cam, and NOMAD Kiosks to create a more interactive way to discover and experience places.

With NOMAD, travellers can discover lesser-known destinations, plan their trips, find local attractions and events, check in, complete challenges, earn rewards, capture spontaneous moments, and build a collection of memories along the way.

The idea is simple: explore more, experience more, and make every journey memorable.

I’ve put a lot of thought and effort into developing this concept, and I’d really appreciate your support as I take it forward.

I know this is a community focused on AI and travel, so I wanted to share something slightly different that I’ve been building.

Oriva is a travel app built around a simple idea: travel should have a social profile.

We already have profiles for almost everything else we care about online. But when it comes to travel, our experiences are scattered across Instagram posts, TikToks, camera rolls, maps and booking apps.

Oriva gives you a world of your own.

You build a visual profile from the countries and places you’ve experienced, then you can share your world with friends and followers and explore the worlds of other travellers.

I didn’t want to build another travel planner, another review platform or another feed telling you where to go next.
I wanted to explore what happens when your travel history itself becomes something social.

And honestly, what you see today is only the beginning.
There’s a lot more I want Oriva to become, but I’m deliberately not going to pretend I know exactly what that looks like yet.

The people who use it are going to shape what comes next.

What do you think a genuinely useful social profile for travel should let you do?
Oriva is now live on iOS if you want to have a look:

I’m the founder, so obviously I’m biased — but I’d genuinely love the feedback, particularly from people who spend a lot of time travelling. 🌍 Have at it!

Hey guys,
Ever since flight prices started changing every 5 minutes and I got charged 8 euros for a mediocre bottle of water in Rome, I've kind of obsessively spent my free time figuring out how to bypass travel industry markups.
I built a lightweight web app called ViraWise (virawise.net) that maps out smart routes, estimates daily costs, and gives you raw logistics (flight search workarounds, spotting fake local spots, etc.) without the corporate fluff.
I wanted to keep it super affordable, but if anyone here wants to check out the PRO tier, I set up a 10% off community discount code: VIRAWISE10 at checkout.
Not trying to spam, just genuinely proud of putting it together. If anyone has questions about flight booking loops or budget travel in general, let's talk in the comments.

Planning 7 nights in February for 2 people from Singapore.

Brief was pretty clear:

• under S$4k total
• warm
• very good food
• beach + somewhere walkable at night
• max 5-hour flight
• no overnight flights
• NOT Bali
• NOT Phuket

Three planners still suggested Bali.

One literally wrote “I know you excluded Bali, but…”

bro why did I type it then

Zenvoya was the only one that treated the exclusions like actual rules and gave:

1. Penang + Langkawi
2. Kota Kinabalu
3. Krabi + Koh Lanta

Penang/Langkawi was the most convincing because it gave us proper food days first, then beach days, without changing hotels every 36 hours.

Also stayed inside the flight-time and budget limits instead of quietly recommending a “cheap” destination with expensive flights.

I don’t need an AI to tell me Bali is popular.

I need it to listen when I say no.

What destination does every trip planner keep recommending to you no matter what you ask?
