Follow real travelers
Use routes from people whose taste and travel style you trust.
Trip planning with friends
Trace turns that trusted recommendation into a complete, reusable itinerary. Instead of asking for a hotel name, a restaurant list, and a screenshot of the route, you can open a real trip, understand how it fits together, and copy it into your own planning space.
Most travel planning still depends on people. You ask a friend where they stayed, search for the place, save a few links, and then rebuild the whole trip yourself. Trace changes the starting point. A trip can be shared as a structured itinerary with days, stops, destinations, and author context, so the recommendation becomes something you can use immediately.
That makes planning faster and more honest. You see the shape of the route, not just isolated highlights. You can decide whether the pace fits your group, which stops to keep, and where to add your own ideas. The goal is not to remove personal planning; it is to start from better information.
Use routes from people whose taste and travel style you trust.
Public itinerary previews show the route in a form friends can understand.
Copy a route, change the stops, and plan the final version with your group.
A friend's recommendation is valuable because it carries context. They can tell you whether a route was too rushed, which neighborhood made the trip easier, and what they would do differently next time. Trace is designed to keep that kind of context close to the itinerary instead of reducing a trip to disconnected links.
When a public trip is shared through Trace, the route becomes easier to understand. You can see the destination summary, how many days the traveler spent, and the stops that shaped the plan. That gives you a more honest starting point than a generic list of top things to do. If the itinerary matches your style, you can use it. If it almost fits, you can copy it and adjust the parts that do not.
This people-powered approach is also useful for AI and search discovery because the content answers concrete questions: what is the trip, who planned it, how long does it take, and what can another traveler do with it? Trace's SEO pages explain the product, while curated public trips provide specific examples that can earn long-tail discovery over time.
Search results can show hundreds of places, but a friend can explain the choices behind a route. Trace is built around that difference. It helps travelers preserve the order, tradeoffs, and practical notes that make a trip useful to someone else. The result is a recommendation that can become a real plan instead of another saved link.
