Hunter's comment

Welcome to the future folks, this is such a fire idea. Totally takes "Google guides" to infinity and beyond in my opinion.

"It’s pretty simple: connect with vetted locals who share your interests — aka Cousins — and get a map of their favorite city spots and insider tips for spending your time and your dime in their hometown."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=2khUdONdhz8

"With Cool Cousin, you’re just two index taps away from getting good personalized recommendations from someone you can trust. So long wasted hours navigating through too much information online." -source

Of course they have an app so you can set ur your entire trip on mobile, or become a "Cousin" yourself... As of right now this platform has my vote BUT even more exciting, they're transitioning into using blockchain-powered (etherium) smart contracts!

"The existing Cool Cousin platform is already quite innovative but the brand is looking to further its expansion with an implementation of a cryptocurrency named CUZ. The new token is using the Ethereum blockchain and will be used to incentivize the growth of its community of local experts. This will allow travelers to receive personalized concierge-like services from locals through a token-based, smart contract and P2P platform."-source

Hit me with those CUZ COINS! I'd love to be a "Cousin" in a city earning rewards for my knowledge about "the best pizza shop" or "you TOTALLY need to try the soup dumpings at THIS chinatown spot". It's something I've been doing for friends for years that I love. But also to be on the other side, having a personal city guide who can help you depending on your time, budget, and likes/dislikes, without wading through tons of reviews online or paying a travel agent (do they even exist any more??)

Could you imageine if your rewards were Rep-based like the ABV we have here on Steemhunt- proving the time and legacy you have with a place- making you essentially a "dumpling authority". Seriously Welcome to the Future.

THIS is the way we were meant to experience new places.

    Hey Dayleeo, nice hunt!

    I've heard a couple of times about cool cousin, travelling is ,in my idea, something that needto be p2p. Certainly good idea: ABV voting and rewarding system. I see the challenge for them would probably be the user base. Also many this kind of travel website/ fb travel group ended up to be another promo site for a couple of tour agents though.

    Good initiative for them tho, I wish them success.

      @dayleeo was amazing your hunting is very useful. Here then I will leave you my opinions and criticisms about this application.

      Pros:

      • It is very easy to use.
      • It serves to get a little faster the specifications of places you want to search.
      • You can set trips on your mobile.
      • It is very innovative.
      • Encourage a bit more the growth of several communities of local experts which will allow travelers to receive concierge services as personalized from the premises through a smart, token-based P2P and contract platform.
      • You can experience and know many places and arrive with a bit of ease because of this.

      Cons:

      • None for this hunt.
        Your search was great.
