It started with my daughter's 2026 Asia trip
My daughter is planning to travel Asia solo in 2026. As a dad, I want to help her stay organized and safe. But when we tried planning our London trip together, I realized - there's no good tool for this. So I'm building it now, while there's still time.
Building the tool she'll need
2026 feels far away, but my daughter is already excited about her solo Asia trip. She sends me TikToks of street food spots, Instagram reels of temples, YouTube videos about backpacking tips. As a dad, I want to help her organize everything - but there's no good tool.
Then came our London trip planning. Harry Potter tickets? Done. Everything else? Complete chaos.
My daughters were sending TikToks of cute London cafes. My girlfriend was saving Instagram posts of markets. I was screenshotting YouTube videos about hidden spots. Same problem, different trip.
WhatsApp couldn't help us search. iMessage was just endless scrolling. Instagram saves were impossible to organize. We needed something better.
That's when it clicked: My daughter will face this exact problem in 2026. She'll have hundreds of TikToks saved, Instagram posts bookmarked, YouTube videos screenshotted. And no way to turn it into an actual trip plan.
So I'm building NovaTrek now, while there's still time. For her solo Asia adventure. For our family trips. For anyone who discovers travel on social media but has nowhere to organize it all.
What drives us
Community First
Built by travelers, for travelers. Every feature comes from real trip planning frustrations.
Innovation
Using AI to solve real problems, not just because it's trendy. Every feature has a purpose.
Privacy & Trust
Your data is yours. We don't sell your information or spam you with ads.
Global Perspective
Travel brings people together. We're building for travelers from every culture and background.
Building the future
NovaTrek launched in October 2025. Right now, it's me (Fred), my two daughters, and my girlfriend using it. We're the first users testing every feature with real family trips. It's scary launching something nobody's using yet, but that's how every good product starts - solving a real problem for real people.
Vision
I want families and groups to stop losing travel inspiration in random screenshots. Save it all in one place, search it easily, and turn those TikToks and Instagram posts into actual trips.
Mission
Build the app I wish existed when planning our London trip - where Gen Z's social media travel content actually becomes useful for planning real itineraries together.
The team
Right now, it's just me (Fred) building this. My daughters and girlfriend are my alpha testers - the toughest critics and best feedback source I could ask for.
