How it works

Five steps. One real plan.

Maunder is built around a single idea: most travelers know where they need to be — they just don't know where to be in between. Here's how we figure it out.

  1. 01

    Pin your anchor(s).

    A single destination on a fixed date, or a sequence (Athens June 14 → Berlin July 2). Maunder treats these as fixed points and plans the empty space between them.

  2. 02

    Tell us your budget and time.

    Total spend cap, total nights you've got, and how flexible you are on dates. We optimize across both flights and stay — together, not separately.

  3. 03

    Dial in your shape.

    Fourteen preference sliders — urban energy, nature, nightlife, food, sport, culture, coworking, climate, walkability, safety, solo & female-traveller safety, LGBTQIA+ acceptance, community, affordability. Adjust and watch the recommendations re-rank.

  4. 04

    See real numbers.

    Every city shows a blended nightly stay cost (1BR Airbnb + mid-tier hotel average) and an indicative round-trip fare. The planner returns a total, not a guess.

  5. 05

    Get a route, not a list.

    In multi-anchor mode we propose stop combinations that respect your sequence — best for budget, best for vibe, best for time. Pick one. Book where you like.
