About the App and Me:
Hello, Im Trey. Im the guy that made this app.
I believe that one of the great purposes of life is to have as many awesome experiences as possible. To fill your life with stories -- this is a wonderful goal. To this end, I created this app very much for myself. I am a travel photographer, and I run a travel photography blog at StuckInCustoms.com . Ive accidentally become an expert on travel photography over the past seven years, so I wanted to create an app that I honestly use ALL THE TIME to plan out my trips.
There is a big problem that this app solves for me, personally. I have limited time, and I want the best information about where to visit and what I will see, generally, when I get there. When most people look at travel guides, they simply look for the pretty pictures and think, "I want to go THERE." This takes that experience to the next order of magnitude, and makes it all extremely practical with Trip-Planning.
Even if you dont travel, you still want to find interesting places to see and experience within a short drive of your home. Or maybe there are hidden gems right in your very town that youve never discovered. Because our algorithm is a cool mix of crowdsourcing plus human-curated lists, youll see some really good results.
All in One:
So, this is it, Stuck on Earth. You dont need to use multiple apps, webpages, and other resources to plan your trip. All the countries, cities, and rural areas of the world are in here (well, except North Korea) -- all in one place. Add photos to your trip, and theyll be available offline. Everything you need is right here in this app. Thanks, and enjoy!
