It’s a great testament to how small our world really is that a team from Ukraine picked Australia’s outdoors to showcase its technology. Kudos to both the team and the choice of geography.

In case you are unaware, roadtripping is quite a 'thing' in Australia. I guess for locals, but very much so for tourists traveling within the country. Here are some examples of classifieds for ridesharing partners https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-rideshare-travel-partners/roadt...

I guess the team went there, saw it, and decided to work on a website for it.

Very interesting for domain expertise. Thank you for this intro!

Thank you, yep, we are all on pale blue dot. The plan is to cover 50+ countries, unite them into clusters, partition them into regions. Gathering feedbacks to decide what to do - add countries/clusters/regions or do GUI and usability for one country?

My preference would be a way to include/exclude countries (especially if it can also account for border crossing times in some manner), but then past that group by high/low temperatures for that part of the year. It's one of those things that affects prep and packing a lot that most travel services don't give much insight into.

Thought about that. Seasonality and availability. You mentioned seasonality already. Availability is different. E.g. famous cherry blossom in Japan happens in Mar-Apr. That's is future plans. Thanks for pointing it!
