Hey! I've worked for Nection Ltd since 2024 and been involved in Tripplanner since late 2025. I love it that this is going to be a place where people can tell everyone about where they're from and hopefully bring tourists in.
I'm from Matakana! That's why there's so many listings from there! I had fun making them, I hope you do too.
