Show HN: Find destinations fitting your budget

[stefuuuun]

It's still a MVP. I'd love to continue working on it, adding better filters, more locations and better data :)

Great start, I can see myself using this.

1. Add a checkbox for flexible start date

2. Ask how long of a vacation

For $10k I got 1 year in India. I'd have preferred 2 months in San Francisco.

Oh wow, looks really interesting! Great job! Out of curiosity, where do you get the data from ?

Some feedback:

* it'd be practical to be able to set an end date

* considering the type of visitor, a small link to Wikitravel/Wikivoyage or something could be useful to help decide

* i think that if you use referral links to flight and hotel booking platforms, at least some would use them ( i know i would) and that way help with dev/maintenance/hosting costs

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm using different sources for the data.

- flight and location data: Tequila by Kiwi (which supports affiliate links) - location data: Geonames - pictures: Unsplash - hotels: booking.com api (which also supports affiliate links) - food, transport, activites: a few sources combined and averaged out (Wikivoyage being one of them)

I really like the concept. Two things with the “flying from” input:

- The name and airplane icon made me think I should be entering an airport but the search results are for cities.

- It might be worth putting the country at the end of the city name, searching for “Birmingham”, for example, gives three results and no way to tell which is which

Good point, just pushed an update! (Now it's only two indistinguishable Birminghams haha should probably add states as well)

Really cool website!

Considering you show multiple destinations, would be nice to have a preferred min/max duration and also some activity categories as places can differ in what you can do (but I see that would require some more sources to be included).

Maybe add filters from nomadlist? Climate etc.. I think they have an API.

I type in 5k and in get like 60-90 days in the 2nd/3rd world…. I don’t get it what’s the point? Why wouldn’t you show me a week or 2 long packages with a brief description of what’s included?

[stefuuuun]

Probably personal preference. I'd probably enjoy a few months in 2nd world more than a week in Paris, but that's not the point. It just tells you destinations (cities) you could visit within your budget and the max trip length. However, I still want to make it more usable to users with specific preferences by adding custom filters and sorting.

Pretty cool!

A really useful feature would be setting the number of travelers.

Good work!

[dinkleberg]

This is off to a great start, nice work!

I like the clear and simple design.

Some criticism though: for 50$ you got a budget hotel in Moscow, not a mid-class

[stefuuuun]

Thanks! I think I understood mid-class as 3-star hotels, so that's what the average price of 3-stars and ok+ rating in Moscow is (booking.com data). Should have written 3-stars instead of mid-class I guess.
