Summer is coming!

Diana and I prepared a guide on how to use AI on vacation trips. She has more travel experience than I do, but I’ve also added my own experience to complement her ideas.

Imagine this: you’re in Barcelona, it’s 9 pm, every restaurant around you just closed, and you’re starving. You’ve spent the last 30 minutes scrolling Google Maps trying to find one place that’s still open AND serves what you actually want.

No luck.

This used to be me. But in about 20 seconds, AI pointed me to a place 10 minutes away that was still open and served exactly that.

That wasn't the only time AI saved my trip.

After that, I started using AI for almost everything on my last two trips: one across the US West Coast (I’m not from the USA), the other through Portugal. I used ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for almost everything: translating to shopkeepers in Cascais, planning a 12-day road trip, finding scenic routes, and even figuring out the location of a beach I saw on Instagram.

Some of these saved me hours. One of them saved an entire day. A few I would never have even thought of without AI.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • The exact prompt I used to plan a trip in minutes (copy-paste ready)

  • How AI helps me save money on my trips

  • How to overcome the language barrier using AI

  • How to find a place you saw on Instagram (even when nobody says where it is)

  • The rules to follow to use AI safely in your trips

  • and more!

Here’s how to upgrade your next trip with AI
