Yes, It is a real product. The solution is based on my own and other travellers' experience (I've been nomadic for 4 years). I deployed the early access last week to collect feedback - to see if my assumptions are good enough to continue. So not all features are available yet. But it's already in development.

I want to reimagine the whole travel planning process, because it has become painful and very time consuming to arrange a journey - have to remember lots of aspects across different platforms, apps and channels.

For example, here is how the flight search is going to work (spoiler "no search at all") - https://x.com/globallybased/status/1929961280594473270

Is this a real product it just a AI-generated homepage with promise of one? (I haven’t signed up for early access).

Let's hope they didn't actually waste money building this. Lets break this down.

- Travefy already does itineraries and has an API.

- Who needs SIM Activation? We all have virtual sims and global roaming.

- Visa submissions cannot be automated - tricky government websites.

- Local time, weather and air quality? iPhone does that.

- Idea for a destination? Ask Chatgpt

- Airline Check-in? Airlines have moved to auto-check-in

- Hotel Check-in? Front desk in most international hotels needs you to be present to show passport and credit card with PIN.

Nothing truly useful here. Do some more brainstorming.

Let me ask you how many tools do you use; how many bookings do you make and how much time do you spend on that in total if you go for a multi-city trip?

For me personally, it's been always a pain to plan trips, although I love to travel and travel a lot. There are many manual and repetitive steps that need to be taken, and they should be interconnected and automated.

That's why I'm building this platform that will take care of all the aspects of the trip, so you can spend more time exploring.

Globally Based is a new all-in-one travel management platform where you can create a timeline of trips and plan and organise all aspects (accommodation, transportation, logistics, etc.) for each location, from checking country code and visa requirements to booking accommodations and flights to managing eSIMs, check-ins and extra services.

Think of it as Airtable/Notion for travel or Booking.com 3.0 but completely dynamic, automated, interconnected and real-time.

More information at globallybased.com - please do share your thoughts and feedback.

How do you manage your trips? Would you use such a tool?

I'm conducting research in the travel domain to better understand what issues or pain points are there about the whole process. It would be amazing to ask you a couple of questions to hear your input and perspective. The survey shouldn't take more than 5 min.
