What is travel?

This is a personal travel planning and logging project. The author uses it to keep track of trips they've taken and to organize ideas for future travel. Think of it as a digital notebook where someone can jot down what they did on a trip and what they want to do next time they visit somewhere new. The setup is straightforward. Each destination gets its own page organized by country and city, with notes about activities, dates, or plans. If something on the list didn't happen, it gets a strikethrough line through the text, which the author clarifies means they simply didn't get to it, not that the experience was bad. They note that nothing terrible gets recorded, keeping the log focused on positive experiences. One interesting aspect is that the author invites others to help plan upcoming trips. There are several destinations marked as "TBD", places like Montpellier, Munich, Salzburg, and Zurich, and the project encourages people to contribute suggestions or recommendations for those locations. So it's partly a personal journal and partly a collaborative planning tool where friends or strangers can pitch in ideas. The project is built in Ruby and runs through automated tests to make sure everything works smoothly, but the README doesn't go into detail about the technical side. What makes this notable as an approach is the choice to use a code-hosting platform like GitHub for something as everyday as travel planning. It takes a tool normally reserved for software development and repurposes it as a living document that can evolve over time, accept contributions from others, and maintain a clean history of changes. It's a reminder that version control tools can be useful for managing any kind of written content that changes and grows over time, not just code.
