A Hundred Million Reasons Why PlanitWide Exists

This post originally appeared as the About page on the PlantWide blog

TL;DR:
PlanitWide’s equation for a happier world = Making smarter travel decisions + Saving time/money/energy

You love to travel. Everyone does. And everyone likes to do it in their own way. There’s no right answer to “What’s the best way to travel”, except perhaps “Whatever way make you the happiest”.

We’re convinced that however happy you are travelling the way you’ve been, you can be even happier doing it.
And that right there, is our reason to exist.

PlanitWide is our attempt at spreading lasting happiness through travel.

We think that the best way to start doing this is by:

• Making you even savvier about every decision that you care about, for any trip you plan on taking, AND
• Saving you time/money/energy in the process, that can then be available to you for other things you enjoy.

This is the grand vision of PlanitWide (coming soon) and this blog.

Specifically, it means showing you that to have the best trip possible you need to rely on more than popular resources (with the biggest marketing budgets) or preconceived notions of utility.
It also means giving you a smarter and faster way to uncover the best travel websites, books and apps — without typing a single word.

Through our travel focused posts on this blog, our goal is to demonstrate how PlanitWide will enhance the travel planning experience (yes, it really should be an experience!).

We’ll accomplish this by doing things like:

• Analyzing how lesser-known resources stack up against their more popular alternatives
• Deep dives into resources to show the value they add to any part(s) of your trip
• Uncovering reasons behind why any resource might not be as well known as we think it should be

Most of all, with every post we’ll attempt to make you a better informed and happier traveler.
