Finding things to do in new places can be tough. We got sick of Googling “best things to do in XYZ” and finding the same results each time. We wanted local knowledge, the walks, waterfalls, swimming holes and viewpoints that we didn’t know existed. But finding these, let alone getting any reliable information on them to plan an NZ or AUS road trip, isn’t easy. So Roady set out with a mission to give travellers easy access to local knowledge, no matter where they are. After years of travelling around the country capturing content and learning about these places, we’ve built a travel app that includes our favourite spots and key information that we would have wanted in one place. Tick off experiences as you travel the country, earning badges and climbing the leaderboard along the way. By ticking off an experience, you’ll create a record of your travels on your profile map. Upload a photo, leaving a rating and sharing a tip to provide your own local knowledge for others. Follow us on Instagram @roadynz [:mav: 2.71.0]
