I'm in Paris, and I'm going to Barcelona tomorrow.

The trip is three weeks.

I came here for the first time last year, and it was my first long trip by myself.

Last year, planning it was very stressful, and I did a ton of research.

This year was the same thing, where I had these very long notes.

At this point, everyone knows that you can go to any AI tool and say: "Hey, I'm going to City X, give me an itinerary for seven days." I had this epiphany a few weeks ago, where I realized I had all these note files, bulleted stuff, and coffee shops to go to.

If someone gave you a list of five coffee shops and they were in five different cities, as someone who's not familiar with the terrain, you wouldn't necessarily know how to structure that in the course of the day.
