Explore cities with local knowledge from Kamino

Kamino Labs wants to change the way we explore cities. Their app ‘Kamino’ is a way for tourists and locals alike to embark on an urban adventure.

The gist of the app is this: users can either blaze a trail by creating walkable playlists or hikes, these hikes can be anything from touristy ‘London landmarks in a day’ ‘Barcelona ultimate seafood trip’ or something as strange as ‘Café’s with the best looking girls’, whatever strikes your fancy.

Other users can then follow your footsteps! Just like having a local guide.

With Kamino you can unlock an authentic city experience, fully equipped with user-generated information like detailed area descriptions, photos, GPS and maps, and recommendations from travel experts and locals.

“We want to change the way people interact with cities. What we have discovered after years of research is that everyone has at least one amazing day in their neighborhood they can share and most people have more.”

It’s a great way to fully immerse yourself into the culture and see how the locals live (it may also help you avoid the usual tourist traps). At the very least, you’d at least know where to get decent coffee in your travels.

It’s pretty much the digital version of having a local show you around. Along with notes from users, there’s also expert recommendations built in from travel experts.

The best thing about the app is its tailored to not only fit your interest, but also gives you options like dog-friendly hikes, great for kids, or for an amazing night out.

It’s time to get out there and start blazing trails, tell the world where to get the best brew, a food trail, your hung-over spots or even just the best places to sunbathe.

Taxi Trails launched by Taxi Stockholm earlier this year, is a new type of tourist guide based on GPS-data from the 8 million trips made in the city every year, enabling you to see where the locals really go.

Jetpac claims to be the expert local guide as, according to the company, they have ‘analysed every pixel of public Instagram photos’ to determine where you should be at any given time.
