bmy.guide is an innovative social network and a search engine solely dedicated to the travel and tourism. Our purpose is to allow travellers to easily connect with other travellers, communities and trusted travel-related content that inspire and entertain.

bmy.guide aims to reshape the way travellers find information, plan a trip, journal and share their travel experiences. Based on reliable information, ratings and reviews created by and for travellers, you have access to trustworthy travel services and experiences.

bmy.guide is also used to share postcards, videos, journals, stories or reviews, and to instantly connect with other travellers around the world.

It is you, the traveller, who makes bmy.guide unique.

The platform elevates the traveller above targeted marketing and other search engine gimmicks, and puts you in control of posting, reviewing and sharing only travel-related content tailored to your topics of interest.

This simple, yet innovative principle allows the platform to better "understand" the traveller’s behaviour regarding the search for information and objectives. You become "guided" by other travellers and their lived experiences.

The wordplay invites all users to guide other travellers. This is possible by writing engaging content about the places they've visited, favourite restaurants and hotels, great activities or indirectly - by showing their appreciation with Flaps or ratings.

It's genuinely simple - a traveller starts with a postcard, a journal entry, a story or a review, to which he assigns a title and a location.

If there is no other post from that location, a new location page is automatically created, serving as a display of all content related to it.

Every page created on bmy.guide has its own chat, its most influential ambassadors, contains all the postcards from that specific location and shows the total number of Flaps received. All other users, starting with friends, those who the user watches, are able to see all the new posts and show their empathy towards it, by giving Flaps, writing comments or sharing the posts.

The Flaps received for a post contribute to the total number of Flaps of the dedicated page to which it belongs. The total number of Flaps on page is an indicator showing the degree of satisfaction of all users with respect to that location. This makes bmy.guide a social platform with a unique focus on landmarks, sights, landscapes, historical places, natural wonders and many other amazing things, as opposed to the fairly egocentric approach of most social networks.

bmy.guide provides the following interactive systems:

• Postcards
• Journals
• Reviews and ratings
• Ambassador Status
• Search engine for locations
• Chats system
• Basic analytical tools and user dashboard
• Interactive quizzes
• User badges for various activities and achievements

• Gamification elements
• Booking integration
• Business Pages

The dove, a strong symbol of love, peace and messangers in many cultures, represents the value and purpose of our platform. A messenger by its nature, a dove does not simply represent empathy on our platform, but almost literally carries it, flapping its wings, taking messages further.

Flaps are one of the main quantitative indicators that our platform is based on, that functions as likes and upvotes on other platforms. We believe it has a positive connotation and suits the values of our ecosystem quite well, while also being closely related to travel.

Flaps help arrange content in order of relevance on the platform and underpin the search mechanism of bmy.guide.

bmy.guide uses a unique ranking system that rewards its users for their entire activity on the platform. The Ranking algorithm is designed to provide confidence in other users delivered content and encourage good quality content over time.

The ranking system allows you to achieve 5 distinct ranks based on the number of Flaps accumulated for all of your shared content. As reaching any of the ranks available is based only on the number of Flaps received, your focus should be only on the quality of your delivered content.

You can see your current rank on the right side menu, under your profile name.
You can also review your ranking at any time by accessing your personal Dashboard - Achievements.

There are 5 available Ranks on bmy.guide:

1. NEWCOMER
2. TRAVELLER
3. EXPLORER
4. GUIDER
5. AMBASSADOR

bmy.guide introduces 'Achievements' as a way to help users monitor their progress, evaluate their entire experience and overcome challenges on the platform. It also allows users to reflect on their performance in relation to the goals they have set for themselves.

The Achievements are offered to bmy.guide users for completing General, Monthly or Special tasks, and materializes in Guide Points (GP). To consult the status of your Achievements, go on Dashboard - Achievements

Our focus is to provide our users only trusted and high-quality travel-related content, therefore, improving your position over time and reaching a higher number of achievements will depend mostly on the quality of your shared content.
