## What is CurioTravel?

Most travel apps tell you where to go. CurioTravel tells you WHY it matters — with surprising, beautifully written stories about any city on Earth. Lisbon is older than Rome. Kyoto was saved from the atomic bomb by one man's honeymoon. Tacos al pastor exist because of Lebanese immigrants. CurioTravel turns every place into a story worth the detour — and your curiosity into a daily habit.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
- EXPLORE ANY CITY ON EARTH: Search 300+ hand-curated destinations — or summon any place in seconds with AI. Real coordinates, real history, no dead ends.
- STORIES, NOT FACTS: Bite-sized, fact-dense chapters on each city — origins, food, hidden gems, legends, language. Written like a friend who really knows the place, never like a textbook.
- STORIES NEAR YOU: GPS reveals the secret history of the landmark right in front of you. Walk closer to unlock the full story. (Location is used only while the screen is open — never stored or shared.)
- LISTEN LIKE A PODCAST: Every story is narrated. Pop in your earbuds on the walk there and let the city talk to you.
- A FRESH STORY EVERY DAY: A new, surprising tale lands daily. Build a streak, grow your Curiosity Quotient, and never run out of things to wonder about.
- CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS: Quiz Duels — share a link, go head-to-head, and settle who's the better traveler.
- COLLECT THE WORLD: Earn XP, stamp every city in your passport, and watch your personal travel constellation grow.
