Travel Planner

A personal travel planning app for expats who regularly travel between countries and need to coordinate logistics, shopping lists, and trip details.

The Problem

When you live abroad (e.g., Costa Rica) and travel back to your home country (e.g., USA) regularly, every trip becomes a logistics exercise:

• Shopping list management - Things you can't get locally, or that cost 3x as much
• Trip timing - Coordinating flights, accommodations, appointments
• Weight/space planning - What fits in your luggage? What needs to ship?
• Price tracking - Is it worth buying X in the US vs locally?
• Recurring items - Stuff you buy every trip (vitamins, electronics, clothes)
