SERENDICITY

The Internet's wealth of information leads to rigid schedules and itineraries when traveling. However, traveling should be about serendipitous encounters with places and strangers, not checklists.

What is serendipity? Something that is lacking when we travel.

What is it?

A mobile app that provides a more engaging walking route to your destination, rather than the fastest one. Serendicity brings serendipity back into travel by encouraging exploration and discovery of city neighborhoods.

How does it work?

Serendicity harnesses the Internet's wealth of information to create personalized walking routes in three simple steps.

Find your destination.

Pick from categories of interest.

Indicate how much time you have.

The entire experience is powered by the Foursquare and Google Maps APIs.

What's next?
