Upload the photos.
Skip the writing.
Publish a guide.
You already took the pictures, wrote the post, or can just say it out loud. VoyaBear reads the places out of any of them and builds a guide people can actually travel with.
From camera roll to guide.
The work you were dreading — naming every place, finding it on a map, writing it up in order — is the part that happens while you're not looking.
- 01
Photos, a link, or just talk
Twenty photos from a week in Lisbon, with no captions and no order. A link to a post you already wrote. Or just say it out loud — we write it down, and you fix it up before anything is built.
- 02
We work out where you were
The location your phone saved with each photo becomes a named place — the café, the viewpoint, the beach you had to walk twenty minutes to find. From a post or a recording, it's the names you gave, looked up on the map.
- 03
Edit it, then publish
Reorder the stops, cut the blurry ones, rewrite the draft we wrote for you. Publish and your guide gets a page at voyabear.com/guides that anyone can open.
A guide people can travel with.
A blog post gets read once and closed. A VoyaBear guide opens inside the app someone is already planning in, so your recommendations end up on their actual itinerary.
- Save every place you name, in one tap
- Turn your guide into their own trip, with their dates and their pace
- Ask the bear anything about your picks, and get an answer about your picks
- Book what's bookable without leaving the page
- Follow you, so the next guide finds them instead of the other way round
Your name on it.
Publishing is free, and every guide carries your name. People who travel with it know whose trip they are following.
- Your name and profile on every guide you publish, linked from its page
- A page of its own at voyabear.com/guides, to share anywhere
- A count of how many people have opened each guide
- A place in the guides directory, and in search
Tag us on your next trip.
We repost guides we love, and the bear has opinions about all of them.
Questions, answered.
Do I need a following to do this?
No. There's no follower minimum and no application queue. If you have photos from a trip you can publish a guide today.
An audience helps your guide get read, but plenty of guides get found through search and through Explore inside the app rather than through anyone's Instagram.
What kind of photos actually work?
Anything with location data attached, which is most phone photos unless you've turned it off. We read it on your device, before anything is uploaded, so you can see what we found while you're still choosing.
A photo with no location still becomes a stop — we just leave it unnamed for you to fill in, rather than guessing and putting it in the wrong country.
Who owns the photos and the writing?
You do. Publishing a guide gives VoyaBear permission to show it inside the app and on your guide's public page. It doesn't transfer anything.
Unpublish and it comes down. Delete it and it's gone, including from search over time.
Can I reuse a post I've already written?
Yes, if it's yours. Paste the link and we read the page, pull out the places you recommended, keep what you said about each one, and put them on a map. You get a draft to edit, not a finished guide.
We take the words and the places, never the photos — those belong to whoever published them. Each stop starts with a stock photo of the place, and you can swap in your own.
Can I talk instead of typing?
Yes. Press the microphone and say where you went. The words land in a box you can read, correct and add to, and the guide is built from what's in that box when you press the button — so a misheard place name is something you fix in a sentence, not something you find later as a stop in the wrong country.
It is not rewritten into magazine prose. If you said the tarts were unreal, the guide says the tarts were unreal. The recording is written down and not kept.
How long does one take?
The draft takes about as long as the upload. The editing is the part that costs you time, and that's entirely up to how particular you are.
Most guides are one city or one trip. Shorter and more specific beats a fifty-place list nobody finishes.
