What Hotel Are We At?
Every group trip ends up with one person as the human FAQ.
"What hotel are we at?"
"When does your flight land?"
"Can you forward me that confirmation?"
"Where's the venue?"
"Who has the rental car?"
If you've ever organized a group trip, you know these questions. Not because they're hard to answer, but because you answer them over and over again, from different people, in different group chats, at all hours.
The information exists. It's just scattered. Someone's email. Someone else's app. A text thread that's now buried under 200 messages about dinner plans.
And somehow, you become the human FAQ.
I've spent a decade flying event crews into cities for brand activations. Sometimes five people. Sometimes fifteen. Different flights, different hotels, constantly changing schedules.
The coordination always breaks in the same places: arrivals, meet-ups, changes. Not because anyone's incompetent. Because there's no single source of truth that everyone can actually access.
I tried spreadsheets. They get outdated. I tried Notion. Too complex for people who just want to know where to go. I tried group chats. They become noise.
Escapade is what I'm building instead.
One link. Everyone's flights, hotels, activities. A shared stash for tickets and confirmations. A timeline that updates when things change. The organizer manages it; everyone else just checks it.
It's still early. Still rough. But the core idea is solid: group travel coordination shouldn't require a project manager. It should just work.
If you're always the organizer—for work trips, bachelor parties, family reunions, whatever—this might be for you eventually.
For now, I'm just trying to make it work for my own trips. When it does, I'll share it.
