Great free option for this kind of app! It took me a few tries to understand how to add a Visited place, but now I’m updating my list 🤝
@fe410 thanks for the feedback Felipe, welcome on board! Any thoughts how can we make the process smoother?
@honason sharing what I tried to do was: go to "Save" and tap on "Visited Places". Not sure if the copy for "Rate" was something different it would also be easier to get it in the first look. Anyways, not a major issue, just thinking about the easiness of the experience for new users, everything looks good and works smoothly!
@fe410 hmm I get the confusion. There are visited places, so one would think you can add a place there with "Save". The fact that it happens automatically for rated places is not always obvious. It's something we will try to improve for new users. Thanks for the feedback again, it's really helpful. And I'm happy you like the feature!
Looks really slick! I wanted to build an app like that a decade ago :) You did a better job!
What is your monetization?
Also a recommendation - be able to click on the globe to pick a visited country. I find it strange to only be able to write a place and then it would appear.
@lenikirilov hi Leni, thanks for the praise and warm welcome to Humbo! We’re not earning money on Humbo. It’s a hobby project of three friends for now 🙂
This is why you rate places to create your map: When I see a map of countries my friend has been to, it's interesting, but I always want to know more.
"You've been to France! Where, how did you like it?
How was the food?". I think seeing this (places tab) makes the map more interesting. And in the long run, everyone benefits from the ratings through recommendations for where to go next.
Visited provides a clean and detailed summary of my travel history. Congrats on launching such a useful tool!
@thetlinthu Thanks, happy that you liked it! Please let us know if you find something that can be better.
This is a fantastic idea to have an overview of all your trips. I believe this project has the potential to become the Facebook of world travelers, connecting individuals who have visited the same places.
However, one thing that strikes me as extremely odd is that on this link: https://humbo.com/it/taormina?at..., there is a post about Taormina/Isola Bella in Italy. I have visited this location myself, and I can confirm without a doubt that some of the images are simply random and do not match this specific location 😅😂🤣 For example, these images:
I am unsure if there is an issue with your algorithm or if these posts are from other users. In any case, they are completely misplaced.

I looked into the misplaced images for Isola Bella and found the problem. There are two Isola Bellas in Italy, and the images you found are from Isola Bella on Lago Maggiore in Northern Italy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is...), not from Isola Bella in Taormina. Thanks a lot for pointing this out! I updated the images now.
@jonte Thanks for the kind words and the idea for the Google Maps import! Will look into it for sure.
Creating my travel map with Visited is so much fun! Congrats on the launch! What destinations are on your travel bucket list now?
@william_jin Thanks, happy that you enjoyed it! Personally, I really want to visit Buenos Aires and Reykjavik. My total bucket list currently has 206 places though, so I have some work ahead of me! https://humbo.com/anders/lists/b...
Where do you want to go next?
Humbo sounds like an incredible platform! 🌍 I love the idea of creating a map of my travels and finding new places to visit, complete with beautiful photos and ratings from people around the world.
I'm curious, how do you ensure the ratings and reviews are authentic? 🤔 Congrats on your launch!
@daria_rokutova thank you! Good question about the authenticity of ratings. It will be a nice project to build a system for this in the future, but right now we take care of it manually. We see the activity, and if there is an account that rates in a way that is obviously not realistic, we would remove it.
congratulations on the launch of visited by humbo, anders, jensa, and uyen. tallying over 7,000 lines of code is no small feat. regarding the recommendation feature, how does the algorithm determine the next best places to visit based on previous travels? keen to see how it enhances user experience.
@mashy Thanks! Currently, the recommendations are pretty basic, we match manually curated lists of places with places you have visited. For example, if you have been to 5 of the best food cities in the world, you might enjoy more top food cities. We have ideas of how to develop this step by step though to make recommendations even better.
Just gave it an upvote! Mapping out travels sounds like a fun way to relive those adventures and even show off a bit – in a good way
I'm curious tho, how does your platform make those travel recommendations?
Would love to know if there's a way to customize how much I share. Some trips are for the 'Gram, others just for the mems, you know? :D
@aman_wen hi Aman, welcome to Humbo! The lists with inspiration that are part of the map work in very simple way. If you visited several of the places on a list like “10 bike friendly cities”, you might like the rest too 🙂
@aman_wen Thanks for the upvote!
There is currently no way to customize how much you share, but it is an interesting idea!
This travel app sounds amazing! It provides a comprehensive overview of your travels, showing how many countries you've visited and where you've been within them. Plus, you get personalized recommendations for your next adventure. You can keep your travel history private or share it with friends. Can't wait to try it!
Awesome job Anders and team 🥳 I love the simplicity and elegance of the website. Already send it to my brother that loves to travelling. All the best!
@theanamoura Thanks for the kind words and for sharing Humbo with your brother!
@shwan_masdon Thank you, @honason has done such a great job with the UI, happy that you like it as much as we do :)
