## What Travel Stories does

Travel Stories is an all-in-one travel companion app. Users create a trip by setting destination, dates, and budget, then build day-by-day itineraries with activities and attractions plotted on interactive maps. The app stores flight, hotel, and car-rental bookings, provides smart packing lists with 100+ suggested items, tracks expenses with visual category breakdowns, sends departure reminders, and lets users capture photos in a digital travel diary. All data is accessible offline, which is its distinguishing feature for travelers heading to remote destinations with no connectivity.
