Moved to social feeds.
Travel ideas now start on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest. But intent is never stored.

Make travel mean more.
Travel ideas die in chaos — saved in screenshots, buried in DMs, lost in notes. LNDMRK gives travel intent a permanent home, where every saved trip becomes a map of the life you want to live.

Where intent disappears
Travel ideas die in chaos.
Every traveler is planning the same trip, in the same three broken places. There is no home for travel intent.
Screenshots
IG reels, TikToks, Pinterest pins — saved to camera roll, lost in three days.
Group chats
Links buried 200 messages deep. "Wait, what was that place you sent?"
Notes apps
Kyoto? Amalfi? Portugal road trip? Half-written. Half-remembered.
Structured intent
Every tile is a possible future.
Saving a trip isn't bookmarking a post — it's mapping the life you want to live. Trips, not content, become the social object.
- One tap turns a tile into a structured trip object — itinerary, price, geo, tags.
- Saved trips compose a visual map of who you're becoming.
- The more you save, the more the feed knows you. Personalization in real time.
- Pre-transaction by design — discovery-led, not booking-led.
Three pillars
Discover. Save. Become.
Every feature, every pixel, every decision ladders back to one of these.
01
Discover
A feed of possible futures. Every tile is a trip someone could take — formatted as structured intent, not inspiration porn.
02
Save
One tap turns a tile into a structured trip object. Saved trips aren't bookmarks — they're identity signals.
03
Become
Your saved trips become a visual map of who you're becoming. The more you save, the more the feed knows you.
The flywheel
Saved intent compounds.
The more someone maps their future in LNDMRK, the harder it is to leave. Every save deepens identity. Every return sharpens who you're becoming. Every cycle makes the feed more personal.

Who we build for
Gen Z & Millennials, 22–30.
Travel-active, socially discovering, chronically disorganized. Four overlapping personas — one shared problem.
The Dreamer
Saves destinations they can't afford yet. Travel is aspirational identity.
The Planner
Coordinates trips in group chats. Lives in tabs, screenshots, and checklists.
The Sharer
Posts every trip. Signals taste and lifestyle through where they've been.
The Explorer
2–4 weekend trips a year. Perpetually seeking the next micro-adventure.
The convergence
Three shifts. Converging.
Travel intent now forms before the platforms built to monetize it.
Moved to messaging.
Trips now live in group chats, DMs, shared links. Intent fragments across tools.
Stuck at checkout.
OTAs monetize after the decision is made. The highest-value signal appears earlier — when a trip is saved.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What LNDMRK is, what it isn't, and how it fits into your travel life.
What is LNDMRK?
LNDMRK is the discovery layer for travel — the first system built around pre-transaction travel intent. It turns scattered inspiration (screenshots, group chat links, half-written notes) into structured, saveable trips that compound over time into a map of who you're becoming.
How is LNDMRK different from Pinterest, TikTok, or Instagram?
Those platforms are inspiration engines — desire is born there, but never stored. LNDMRK lives one step downstream: when a trip idea sparks, one tap turns it into a structured trip object with itinerary, price, geography, and tags. Trips, not content, become the social object.
Is this a booking site like Expedia or Booking.com?
No. We're explicitly pre-transaction. Booking is downstream — we operate where intent forms, not where money changes hands. (We work with affiliate partners like Agoda, TripAdvisor, Viator, and Kiwi when you're ready to act.)
When is LNDMRK launching?
A closed beta is rolling out in 2026, starting with our waitlist. Join below and you'll be among the first travelers in.
How much does it cost?
Free for travelers. Our revenue comes from sponsored trip tiles, affiliate conversion, and aggregated demand insights — never from gating saving or discovery.
Who is behind LNDMRK?
Landmark Travel Inc. is the parent company. LNDMRK is the consumer product. The company is led by founder & CEO Connor Thompson with advisors Michael LoPresti and Paul Etzler.
