THE PEOPLE
HOW AMIGARE WORKS / POWERED BY TRAVELLERS
THE PEOPLE
MAKE THE
PLACE.
Amigare brings the map. Travellers bring it to life.
The food recommendations, useful posts, meet-ups and shared prices come from the people using it. Your trip can make someone else’s a little better.
See how it all connects
01 / THE LITTLE THINGS, CONNECTED
MORE THAN
A POST.
A meal you loved can become somebody’s dinner plan. A price you share can help the next person know what to expect. The conversation keeps going beyond the feed.
“FOUND A GOOD
Someone finds the place.
The place tag connects the post to its location. Other travellers can read the context, save the spot and decide whether to go.
Someone adds what they know.
Comments, useful reactions and fresh confirmations add context. A follow-up can say what’s changed, rather than leaving an old tip untouched.
The price helps someone else.
Eligible shared price details can join comparable recent reports. A meal price stays a meal price; it isn’t treated as a whole day’s budget.
Posts, map contributions, plans and price reports have their own context and sharing rules. Posting doesn’t automatically turn everything into a public pin.
02 / FOOD, HOSTELS & THINGS TO DO
SOMEONE WENT.
YOU GET THE
GOOD TIP.
Food recommendations come from travellers who want to pass on a good find. The same goes for a hostel they loved, a coconut-boat afternoon or a spot worth a detour.
Open a place to see the recommendation and conversation behind it. Who shared it? What did they like? Is there a recent update? You get the context to make your own call.
- Use the map’s categories to find your kind of stop.
- Read the linked posts and practical details.
- Save a place, ask a question or share your own experience.

03 / THE FEED & NOTIONS
THE COMMON
ROOM, WITH
A MEMORY.
The feed is made from travellers’ photos, questions, stories and advice. Friends’ posts help you keep up with your people; public posts let you learn from people you haven’t met yet.
Notions are the useful little updates: a price, a transport tip, a heads-up or something worth knowing in that city. They stay connected to a place and a conversation.
- Share the experience and location you mean.
- Ask in the comments when a detail is missing.
- Mark useful advice and use “Still true?” when you can confirm or correct a practical tip.
How does information stay useful?
Dates, expiry and fresh confirmations give a tip context. A warning about tonight and advice for a month-long stay have different lifetimes. Old or disputed information needs updating; a useful count alone isn’t proof that a claim is true.
Someone else is on their way.
04 / TONIGHT, MEET-UPS & YOUR PEOPLE
THE PLAN
STARTS WITH
ONE OF YOU.
Meet-ups and events in Tonight are posted by the people making them happen. Someone suggests dinner, a beach afternoon or a trip out. Other travellers join the conversation and work out the details together.
Tonight Dinner, a sunset or a night out today.
This week A hike, a day trip or something to plan ahead.
Buddies Someone to explore or travel with.
Rides & seats People heading the same way.
You choose what to join. Check the meeting place, timing and organiser’s updates in the conversation. Amigare connects the plan; the people posting it organise it.
Meet Tonightis a perfectly good start.
05 / THE COMMUNITY PRICE INDEX
“WHAT DID
YOU PAY?”
Food, a bed, a ride, an activity. Prices shared by travellers help the next person understand what a place might cost. Their recent reports build a picture of what people are paying on the road.
THE PRICE HAS CONTEXT
WHAT.
WHERE.
HOW MUCH.
- Item or category
- What was paid for
- Place & date
- Where and when
- Amount & currency
- The original price
- Unit & quantity
- Per meal, night or ride
One receipt is a report.
A group of comparable reports gives a picture.
Travellers supply the evidence.
Public, location-confirmed posts with usable price details can contribute. Spending-tracker entries can also contribute when their owner opts in to sharing them for the index.
Like is compared with like.
Reports are grouped by city, category, currency and unit. A dorm bed per night isn’t mixed with a three-night bill, and a drink isn’t treated as a full meal.
Several people build the picture.
Recent reports from different travellers support the typical price and range. A single post or lots of likes don’t create a reliable average. When there isn’t enough comparable evidence, there isn’t a community price band to show.
Your own spending stays your choice.
The shared index summarises contributions; it doesn’t publish your private spending diary. A public price post and a private expense are different things. You choose whether eligible tracker entries contribute.
A reported price is a guide to what someone paid, not a guaranteed quote. Season, room type, group size and what’s included can change the price.
06 / FRIENDS, ROUTES & MEMORIES
YOUR STORY.
STILL YOURS.
Add the people you meet and remember where the friendship started. Share the next stops you choose, and Paths Crossing gives you another reason to meet when your routes line up.
Travel friends and watchers are different. Watching public posts doesn’t give someone access to your friend map. Sharing a useful tip doesn’t mean sharing your whole trip.
Your passport keeps your places, memories and milestones together. The parts you share can help other travellers; the personal record remains yours to build.

AND THE PRACTICAL BIT
YOUR ROUTE,
WITHOUT THE
SCATTERED TABS.
Add stops yourself, or use optional, read-only booking import to find possible travel bookings. Review what’s found and choose what becomes part of your trip.
Cash-paid stays and loose plans can be added manually. Keep past trips and upcoming stops together, and add a copy of a plan to Apple Calendar when you want it there.
Connecting a mailbox isn’t required to post, join plans or meet people. Imported bookings don’t become community recommendations or public price posts on their own.
THE FAIR QUESTIONS
BEFORE
YOU HEAD OUT.
Do I have to post to use Amigare? +
No. You can look around, save places, find plans and keep in touch. When you do have a useful tip or a good find, sharing it helps the next traveller.
Is every map place a traveller recommendation? +
Destination guides give a city a useful starting point. Traveller recommendations, discussions and plans are the community layer on top, with their own source and context. A researched guide pick isn’t presented as a traveller’s review or a live meet-up.
Does every post change the map or price index? +
No. A map contribution needs a usable place and suitable shared context. A price needs clear details and a comparable basis. Private posts, vague prices and unrelated reactions don’t automatically become public map recommendations or price evidence.
Who keeps the community safe? +
Travellers contribute the content; Amigare provides the app and its moderation tools. You can report content and block people. Community feedback adds context, but doesn’t guarantee a recommendation, organiser or claim is safe. Use your judgement when meeting someone or making a plan.
What’s the easiest way to help? +
Share the thing you wish you’d known when you arrived. Tag the right place, add useful detail, say what a price covers, and update a tip when something changes. It doesn’t need to be a polished travel guide.
