01 · Challenge

The brief.

WanderWise is a personalised mobile travel companion designed to make exploring unfamiliar destinations feel less fragmented and more relevant. Instead of forcing travellers to jump between maps, reviews, social media, weather apps, translators and saved screenshots, the concept brings discovery, planning and practical travel tools into one continuous experience.

02 · Approach

The thinking.

We structured the product around three core modes: Home, Explore and Tools. Personalisation begins during onboarding, where interests and trip context shape later recommendations rather than sitting unused in settings. Discovery screens prioritise contextual information, nearby experiences and saved activities, while practical tools such as currency conversion, translation, weather and emergency contacts remain easy to access without competing with the main exploration experience.

03 · Outcome

The result.

WanderWise brings inspiration, planning and practical travel support into one personalised mobile experience.

Personalised discovery based on interests and trip context
Local events, cafés and destination recommendations
OSaved activities and lightweight trip organisation
Essential travel tools accessible within the same experience

The product was structured around the different decisions travellers make throughout a trip. Discovery remains central, while detailed place information, maps, saved activities and practical utilities appear when the user needs greater context or support.

The result is a travel concept that supports both sides of being somewhere unfamiliar: the excitement of discovering something new and the practical need to feel informed, prepared and in control.
