LocalWander

Startup Idea: A platform that connects travelers with local hosts in Andalusia, Morocco, and the Canary Islands for a more personalized and budget-friendly cultural immersion experience, including accommodation options and activities tailored to individual preferences.

Pain point: people are unsure if the €1500 cost for a 28-day group tour through Andalusia, Morocco, and the Canary Islands is worth it, considering it includes camping and cultural immersion activities.
