Weekndr aims to change the way people search for travel.
START WITH WHAT INSTEAD OF WHERE.
The key to planning a great trip is to start off by focusing on the experience rather than the destination. Instead of choosing a great place and then looking for things to do, flip the process and look for the things you want to do and narrow down a location. This might seem like a daunting task requiring many different sites and hours of search to sift through the noise and find the best trip for you, which is why we decided to create a personalized destination search engine.
Weekndr is an app that lets you search for trips at your price point within the next 60 days based on your activity and event preferences.
