Problem
Travelers lack a dedicated, social platform to record and share their personal ratings and memories of the places they visit. Existing travel apps focus on trip planning and logistics rather than capturing honest, personal opinions and building a social community around travel experiences.
Solution
Stampaway provides a social travel journal where users rate countries and cities they've visited using a 0.5 to 5-star scale, similar to how Letterboxd works for films. The app lets users log visit dates, durations, and optional photos, while building a personal world map that fills with every trip. Friends' ratings surface first in feeds, creating a social layer where travelers can discover and compare each other's experiences. The platform also includes curated lists, yearly goals, and smart notifications when friends rate places a user has saved.
Target Audience
Primary users are avid travelers who want to document, rate, and share their travel experiences socially, as well as travel enthusiasts looking to discover new destinations through friends' and community ratings.
