Why We Built BeenAround

Our Story

Let's be real: A 5-star review from 'TravelGuy_87' means nothing. The best recommendations come from people you know and trust. Our founder, William, lived by this—his phone's notes were an overflowing list of every epic concert, must-try restaurant, and hidden gem his friends told him about. He created BeenAround to get that list out of his notes and into one place for his whole crew. It’s a collective travel journal for finding legit spots and logging your own adventures. No fakes, no bots—just real places from real people in your circle.
