Global Itinerary

Inspiration

Most vacation spots in the world have hidden, unexplored parts that are easily overlooked. While Yelp suggests the best food spots and Expedia helps allows you to book the cheapest hotels and flight, travelers often rely on their network to ask for the best locations in town. We have solved this problem.

What it does

1) Global Itinerary allows travelers to input their recent trips, and favorite activities with images, stories, and the amount spent on each. Users can also create their profiles with a list of all their trips documented in one place. 2) Travelers can also plan out their perfect, under-budget trip based on recent visits by others!

How we built it

1) We started with creating a list of requirements in our central documentation. 2) Based on the requirements, we created a complete set of Wireframes on Figma. 3) We then used JIRA to divide our work into Front-end and Back-end related tasks/stories. 4) After every 4-5 hours of individual coding sessions, we arranged a meeting for touch-based and integration of tasks completed. 5) We finally were able to integrate our code together based on our plan.

Challenges we ran into

1) Integration of our React JS API calls to the Spring boot applications kept giving CORS blockers even though we had enabled CORS for all origns. 2) Developing everything within the time constraint. We found ourselves lacking time to finish the end product for deployment.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

1) A very neat front-end for the application. 2) Several functional APIs that work based on our requirements. 3) Communication was very easy within ourselves throughout the hackathon.

What we learned

What's next for Global Itinerary

I want to add several features and deploy this application in a scalable and reliable way for the public. I belive this could be an extremely useful application for Travelers and Tourists.
