Travel Journal
Documenting our Quest to Visit Every NBA & WNBA Arena + food, hotels reviews.

The core technologies used to build this project.
The Challenge
What problem was I trying to solve?
I'm all about sharing my adventures on Instagram, but I want to create something more personal and tangible. How can I use a travel journal to capture my unique experiences in a way that's visually appealing and easy to share, without feeling like I'm just copying everyone else's aesthetic?
The solution to this issue is to create a Travel Journal to show:
Interesting restaurants and food reviews,
Unique hotels and interesting locations.
Track our quest to visit every NBA WNBA arenas in the US and Canada
