Problem

Travelling on a budget is challenging especially when you have to navigate through multiple sites to keep track of your bookings and expenses. 

Solution

TravelBuddy is a Mobile App that will allow you to book flight, car and hotel within your set budget along with a user friendly feature to keep track your expenses.

My Client Sadie Porter struggles to stay on budget during travel especially during peak holiday seasons such as, Christmas because they always face unexpected household expenses and their set aside travel budget takes a hit as she is unable to track and organize when booking online. She is in search of an App that will help her book a flight and maintain budget all in one place. She is introduced to TravelBuddy by her husband and Sadie wants to try it out.

How might our TravelBuddy App reduce our users anxiety of going over budget while traveling by helping them calculate, book and track their budget during their trip? How might we do extensive search with the users feed of their budget in our app and we send notifications ahead of their bookings to help their journey start off on a happy note?
