Daily notes plus curated photos become a trips database you can share.
Daily notes and curated photos flow into a trips database — curated trip data you can share with a travel companion.
The raw material is already there and already dated. Every trip left a trail: the day-notes that recorded where you were, the photos with coordinates and timestamps, the transactions that say what things cost, the places you actually went. None of it was entered as trip data — it accumulated as a byproduct of the trip happening. Structure is what turns that residue into something you can query: where have we been, what worked, what would we do again, what have we already seen enough of.
What it unlocks is not nostalgia — it's the next trip. A decade of trips made queryable means the planner knows what's already been done (so it stops suggesting it), what the group actually enjoys (so it ranks on real taste rather than a rating average), and what the honest constraints are. The history stops being a photo album and starts being an input.
And because it's structured rather than remembered, it survives being shared. A travel companion gets the same view you have — not your whole vault, just the trip data, published one way.
