From planning to coming home, a series of JeliCards tells the story of your trip: the stages, the photos, videos of the highlights, your texts and your voice messages. And your favourite places become a small guide for those who travel after you.

**Who it's for** : Travellers, Families, Students and volunteers, Bloggers and creators, Travel agencies, Tour guides, Tourist offices

## The problem: scattered memories

On a trip, you take hundreds of photos and videos. Back home, everything is scattered and quickly forgotten.

- **Photos buried** The pictures stay in the phone, mixed up with everything else.
- **Story lost** The anecdotes and emotions of the trip are soon forgotten.
- **Tips scattered** Good places to go get lost in messages.
- **Loved ones far away** The family wants to follow the trip, stage by stage.

## A series of JeliCards for your trip

- **Before — Planning** Itinerary, budget, paperwork, packing, bookings: your roadmap.
- **During — The stages** One JeliCard per town or per day: photos, videos of the highlights, your texts and your voice messages.
- **Back home — The full story** The film of the trip, the best pictures, what you take away from it.
- **Tips — My travel guide** Hotels, restaurants, transport, sights to see, traps to avoid, prices, the best season.
- **Sharing — For those setting off** One JeliCard per place, to share with friends who want to make the same trip.

## What Jèli gives you

- **Your memories in order** Photos, videos, texts and voice messages brought together, stage by stage.
- **Your loved ones follow the trip** Loved ones who opened your JeliCards in the Jèli app are notified when you publish a new stage.
- **A real guide** Your practical tips help those who travel after you.
- **Always up to date** A hotel closes, a price changes: you correct the JeliCard.
- **Easy to share** A QR code in a photo album, a link sent by message.
- **Free and ad-free** People see only your trip.

## Your JeliCards travel around the world

A JeliCard is shared in one move: by text message, on social media, by email, on the internet, or simply by scanning the QR code from one phone to another. Your message travels across time and distance, and reaches every audience, here and elsewhere.

## What about Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp?

These tools are excellent, and you probably use them already. Jèli does not replace them: it does a different job.

### Instagram and TikTok — The networks that help people discover you

- **Ideal for** showing your news in photos and videos, and reaching new audiences.
- **Information** lives in a feed: new posts push the old ones down.
- **Access** mostly needs the app and an account; the algorithm decides who sees what.
- **Around it** other content and ads are shown too.

### WhatsApp — The messaging app that gets people talking

- **Ideal for** everyday conversations, answering questions, running a group.
- **Information** lives in a conversation: messages pile up and old ones are quickly lost.
- **Access** means having your number or being in the group.
- **Around it** are all the person's other conversations.

### Jèli — The reference page, in the right place

- **Ideal for** information that must stay available, attached to an object, a poster or a place.
- **Information** lives on a stable page: always in the same place, always up to date.
- **Access** takes a simple scan, with no account and no app.
- **Around it** no ads and no one else's content: only your message and your other JeliCards.

Instagram and TikTok are perfect for sharing your best pictures live, and WhatsApp for sending news. Your Jèli travel journal keeps the whole trip in one folder, stage by stage, with your practical tips, and stays easy to find years later.

**It's not one or the other.** Put the links to your Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp accounts in the text of your JeliCard, and share your JeliCard on your networks: each tool does what it does best.

## How to do it

Start as soon as you begin planning.

1. **Create** a first JeliCard to introduce the trip.
2. **Prepare** the itinerary, the paperwork and the packing list.
3. **Share** the link with your loved ones before you leave.
4. **Add** one JeliCard per stage during the trip, kept in the same folder.
5. **Tell the story** with voice messages and short videos.
6. **Write** your tips: hotels, restaurants, transport.
7. **Print** a QR code in a photo album or on a postcard.

## Obstacles, and how to get past them

- **Not everyone has a smartphone** A relative, a seller or a community relay can scan and play it for them. The printed material still makes sense on its own.
- **Costly data, weak network** Short voice messages, light images, no app to download: the JeliCard opens fast, even with little data.
- **No signal while travelling** Take your photos and notes offline, then complete the JeliCard in the evening, on the hotel Wi-Fi.
- **Privacy** Never publish your address or the dates you are away, and ask permission from the people you photograph.
- **No time to write** A one-minute voice message a day is enough to tell the essentials.

## Our tips

- Add a JeliCard every evening: it's the best time to tell the story of the day.
- Note down prices and contacts: they are the most useful tips.
- Don't publish your address or the dates you are away from home.
- Ask permission from the people you film or photograph.
- Don't forget your business card: your name and a QR code that leads to all your activities.

> Photos stay in the phone. The JeliCard tells the story of the trip, and guides those who travel after you.
