We built the trip planner we wished existed.
In 2021 I came back from ten days in Portugal with a very detailed itinerary and a persistent feeling that I’d missed the trip. I’d been to six cities, seven monuments, and four “best restaurants in Lisbon” lists. I hadn’t been to any of the places a friend had told me about quietly, or the morning market I’d wanted to find but never had time for. The schedule had won.
The problem wasn’t information. Every app I’d used gave me the same recommendations, timed the same way, in the same order. None of them had ever asked whether I wanted a slow first day or a packed one. None of them knew the restaurant was full six weeks before I landed. None of them had a view on whether the day hike should go on day two or day four.
Wanderglint started in 2022 in San Diego with a straightforward premise: a planner that asks how you travel before it suggests where to go. We built it around the things that actually make trips good — pacing, anchor experiences, reservations made in the right window. Over 2,400 trips planned since we launched.

The team.
Spent six years in product at a travel booking company, watching planning tools recommend the same itineraries for every traveler regardless of how they traveled. Founded Wanderglint in 2022 to fix that. Based in San Diego.
Previously led recommendation UX at a growing consumer app, where he spent years studying how the order and framing of suggestions changes what people actually do. Brought that sensibility to how Wanderglint surfaces options without overwhelming.
Built real-time reservation infrastructure for five years before joining Wanderglint. The engineering challenge that interested him: making booking confirmation feel as easy as describing the trip in a sentence. Still working on it. Mostly solved.
What we believe
Slow beats rushed.
The trips people talk about years later aren’t the ones with the most entries in the itinerary. They’re the ones where there was actually time to be somewhere. Wanderglint doesn’t reward density.
One great experience beats ten mediocre ones.
Depth over breadth. The Sintra hike that took a full day and was worth every step is a better trip than seven half-visited museums and a race to the airport.
The plan should serve the traveler, not the other way around.
Wanderglint doesn’t replace your travel instincts — it gives them something to work with. An itinerary is a starting point. When something better appears on the street, leave the plan behind. We build for that too.
