## What is Travel Warnings?

Travel Warnings — Spot tourist traps before you walk into them.

Planning a city trip and not sure what tricks are running there right now? The "friendly" guy at the train station, the supposed beach lifeguard crew that isn't one, the "tourist info" signs that aren't — by the time you spot them, you're already in. Travel guides from last summer don't know this year's tricks. But we do.

Travel Warnings runs the local tourist-trap crash course for the specific city you're heading to — based on real-time sources, personalized for your travel style.

Who Travel Warnings is for
• You're heading to a city you've never been to before
• You don't want to learn from Instagram reels — after the fact — which market is the pickpocket hotspot
• You're traveling with family and need scams that specifically target parents with kids
• You want local emergency phrases ready when you need them

How it works
• Enter the city + pick your travel profile (solo, family, couple, backpacker, budget, season)
• AI analyzes the current situation on the ground — live sources, not old guidebooks
• You get personalized warnings, sorted by severity
• Per warning: concrete tips on what to do + emergency phrases in the local language with text-to-speech
• Everything available offline once you've run the analysis

What makes Travel Warnings different
• Personalized, not generic: family Bangkok gets different warnings than solo-backpacker Bangkok
• Current, not 2019 guidebook: what's actually happening now — not what used to be a problem
• Yours for life: one analysis run, the result stays on your device forever, offline
• Privacy first: no user data on our servers. No trackers, no analytics

Why people like Travel Warnings
• Confidence before you board the plane
• Less research stress: one tap, a ready-made list
• Works offline once analyzed
• Emergency phrases in 50+ languages with playback — no fumbling for vocabulary when stress hits
