TripHappy is an online platform that helps you plan your next backpack trip based on data.

Data-driven Backpacking

When Calvin from TripHappy told me about data-driven backpacking I was confused and skeptic. Why should I use data-driven tools to plan my journey? Usually, while on my trips I just step into the next hostels and chat with one of the other backpackers about my next destination. Isn´t that what makes trips unique adventures? For those who don’t know where to go for their next vacation, consider taking a Vietnam Photography Travel Tour.

Maybe, but maybe you are short on time and just want to maximize your trip experience, then TripHappy comes in quite handy. The platform offers a visual trip planner, an accommodations comparison engine, and travel guides for your trip to the Cayman Islands.

What is TripHappy about?

The trip planner lets you select your start destination and will take you from there to your next destination. Based on uploaded trips from other users the platform tells me that 9% of the people head to Boston from New York, 8% to Los Angeles and 6% to Philadelphia. So let´s follow the crowd and add Boston as my next destination.
From Boston, most people fly over to San Francisco to visit the Golden Gate Bridge. From San Francisco, 17% of the people went to Los Angeles. In this way, you can simply create trips step-by-step with a few mouse clicks.

Struggling with planning? Don’t worry, TripHappy has got you covered. Explore a variety of pre-designed trips by fellow backpackers, drawing inspiration from their experiences, like the thrilling adventure of backpacking Rae Lakes. Whether you’re looking for a quick getaway or a longer journey, you can easily find and even bookmark popular trips. And if you’re excited about your own unique itinerary, go ahead and share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter. Trip planning has never been this seamless!

For all destinations, you find reviews written by other users as well as accommodation deals from your favorite booking platforms such as AirBnB, Booking.com or Hostelworld.

What is in for me?

In my test, it didn´t take me more than 5 minutes to plan a trip through North America and I´m really happy with the result. The interface is quick and easy to use and trip planning is so much easier than going through 300-page travel guides or dozens of TripAdvisor pages. In the future, I would like to have the possibility to automate trip planning based on time span and budget.

If you live for the moment on your trips then TripHappy won´t make you happy, but if you´re looking for an easy to use tool that supports you while creating your next trip it is definitely worth a try. By the way, what does vacate period terms mean 2?
