Wayfar: Smart Travel Planning & Discovery App

I created Wayfar as an all-in-one travel companion designed to make discovering, planning, and experiencing new destinations feel effortless and inspiring. Rather than juggling disconnected booking apps, messy spreadsheets, and cluttered map pins, I designed the experience around how travelers actually move through a journey, finding hidden gems, organizing seamless day-by-day itineraries, and exploring neighborhoods in real time.

The visual direction pairs a bright, airy aesthetic with deep forest green and warm sun-amber accents, reflecting an outdoor, wanderlust-driven identity while keeping navigation clean and legible under bright sunlight. Forest green is used deliberately for primary call-to-action buttons, active tab indicators, and itinerary milestones, while crisp white cards and spacious margins allow rich photography to take center stage.

The splash and onboarding screen immediately sets an aspirational tone with the prompt "Find What Moves You." Grounded by cinematic coastal scenery, it emphasizes a clear travel philosophy, plan less, experience more, welcoming users with a prominent "Get Started" trigger.

The explore feed rethinks destination discovery through curated intent. At the top, a universal search bar sits alongside quick filter pills for Beaches, Mountains, Cities, and Food. Below, high-impact photo cards showcase "Trending Destinations" like Bali and Kyoto alongside personalized recommendations like the Dolomites, each equipped with one-tap bookmarking to quickly save spots for later.

The trip planning view turns complex logistics into a cohesive visual timeline. The Amalfi Coast Adventure screen demonstrates how multi-day trips are organized through clear tabs, Itinerary, Map, Expenses, and Notes. Each day is represented as an intuitive chronological stop complete with destination thumbnails, check-in details, and daily activities, making schedule adjustments effortless.

The neighborhood discovery screen integrates a clean interactive map view with quick category toggles for Restaurants, Attractions, Hotels, and Cafés. Floating card overlays spotlight high-rated local gems like Il San Pietro, offering instant ratings, descriptions, and directional routing.

Across all four screens, I focused on high legibility, cohesive travel iconography, and a dependable five-tab bottom navigation, Home, Explore, Trips, Saved, and Profile. The result is a travel product that feels thoughtful, grounded, and premium, giving travelers the confidence to explore further with complete peace of mind.
