Trip Pal

Inspiration

While planning a trip it often becomes very difficult to plan out the places to visit and make an itinerary for the trip. Also, if we have fur babies then we always want to take them along with us on staycations. Keeping in mind all these problems, we have come up with a solution for the same.

What it does

We have built a web application named TripPal with the following features:

Add places from guides with a single click: Travel Bloggers have curated itineraries for you to plan your trip and save time.
Collaborate with other travelers: Don’t feel alone, plan along with your friends by searching for Travel Buddy.
Don’t forget any essentials: While packing stuff for the trip, don’t forget any essential by maintaining a checklist.
Search for Pet-Friendly Destinations: Enjoy trips with your fur babies without any hassle by using our pet-friendly filter.
Get personalized suggestions: Find the best places to visit with smart recommendations based on your itinerary.

How we built it

Figma for designing the website.
Frontend - React, HTML, CSS, JS, Bootstrap
Backend - Nodejs, MongoDB

Challenges we ran into

The backend was a tough task for us. But somehow we managed to do it.
