Project description

SpikSpak is an all-in-one travel planning app that helps you organize trips, book flights, and navigate your adventures—all in one place. Create detailed itineraries with activities, view your entire journey on an interactive 3D map with actual routes between destinations, search and book flights, store boarding passes and tickets in a digital wallet, and quickly hail rides to your next stop. Whether you're planning a solo road trip or coordinating group travel, SpikSpak keeps everything organized so you can focus on the experience

The Challenge

Modern travelers juggle multiple apps to plan trips—one for flights, another for hotels, spreadsheets for itineraries, and messaging apps to coordinate with travel companions. This fragmented experience leads to missed reservations, forgotten details, and the stress of constantly switching between platforms. We set out to build a unified travel companion that brings every aspect of trip planning into one beautifully designed mobile experience.

The Solution

SpikSpak is a React Native mobile app built with Expo that consolidates trip planning, booking, and collaboration into a single platform. Users create trips with a guided wizard, add activities with smart location search powered by Mapbox, and visualize their entire journey on an interactive 3D map. The app integrates with the Duffel API for real-time flight search and booking, stores tickets in a digital wallet with barcode scanning, and displays actual driving and walking routes between destinations. Firebase handles authentication, real-time data sync, and secure backend functions.

Key Features

The app features an intuitive itinerary builder with drag-and-drop reordering, a central map view showing all trip activities with flight arcs and ground routes, a digital wallet for boarding passes and tickets, and deep linking to ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft. Activity types include flights, lodging, meals, transit, and walking—each with distinct visual styling and route rendering. The design follows a nature-inspired theme with cream backgrounds and forest green accents, creating a calm, premium feel.

Results and Impact

SpikSpak demonstrates how thoughtful UX design and strategic API integrations can transform a complex workflow into an enjoyable experience. The unified map visualization helps travelers understand their journey at a glance, while the wallet feature eliminates the panic of searching for confirmation emails at check-in. Currently in TestFlight beta, the app showcases the potential of modern mobile development tools to solve real-world coordination challenges for solo travelers and groups alike.
