Introducing WanderWise: Your Ultimate Travel Recommendation Tool Built With HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Flask (Python) For The Backend.

Travel planning can be overwhelming. With countless destinations to choose from and a myriad of factors to consider, finding the perfect place for your next adventure often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s where WanderWise comes in.

What is WanderWise?

WanderWise is a web application designed to simplify your travel planning process. By leveraging advanced algorithms and multiple data sources, WanderWise provides personalized travel recommendations based on your specific preferences. Whether you’re dreaming of exploring new cultures, trying out new cuisines, or simply enjoying a relaxing beach vacation, WanderWise has you covered. For now, user preferences are limited to continent and climate only because I had trouble integrating the activities api.

Key Features of WanderWise Are:

1. Tailored Recommendations: Input your preferences for climate, continent, and activities. WanderWise will generate a list of countries that match your criteria.

2. Comprehensive Country Information: Each recommendation comes with detailed information, including the country’s flag, capital city, currency, and notable places to visit.

3. Integrated APIs: WanderWise uses data from RestCountries, OpenTripMap, and other sources to provide up-to-date and accurate travel insights.

4. Activity and Food Suggestions: Beyond just suggesting countries, WanderWise integrates APIs for activities and local cuisine, giving you a well-rounded view of what to expect on your trip. It should be noted that the activities API didn't work as I wanted so I had to leave out the feature for now.

The Inspiration Behind WanderWise -

The idea for WanderWise stemmed from a simple desire to make travel planning more unique to each individual. Instead of sifting through endless travel guides and forums, WanderWise offers a streamlined approach to discovering destinations that truly resonate with your interests.

How It Works

1. Enter Your Preferences: Select your desired climate, continent, and type of activities you enjoy.

2. Receive Recommendations: Get a curated list of countries that fit your preferences, complete with essential details and activity suggestions.

3. Plan Your Trip: Use the provided information to make informed decisions about your next travel destination.

What’s Next?

This is a solo project and building this has taught me how to handle backend logic and how to route my application properly with Flask. I learned that CSS is not as simple as it looks and a good HTML structure will save you lots of styling bugs.
