Balloon: Tracking your Visited Countries

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We’re the team at LOUD, and we built Visited Balloon – a travel companion for people who love to see the world and see their progress. Over time we found ourselves asking the same questions as travellers: • “How much of the world have we actually seen?” • “Where should we go next that really fits our tastes?” • “Where can we find the key info about a country in one place?” So we created Visited Balloon to answer exactly those questions: • 🗺 Your personal world map – mark the countries you’ve visited and instantly see how much of each continent you’ve explored. • 📊 Clear travel stats – understand your travel patterns at a glance (continents, regions, “how much of the world” you’ve covered). • 🧠 Trip ideas tailored to you – get suggestions for new countries to visit based on what you like and where you’ve already been. • 📚 Essential country info in one screen – currency, emergency numbers, safety level, UNESCO sites, driving side, holidays, and more. • 🔒 Widgets & lock screen – keep your map and your next dream destination always visible on your iPhone. • 🏆 Friendly competition – compare your map with friends and see who has explored more of the world. Our goal with Visited Balloon is not to be “just another travel app”, but a simple, delightful way to: • celebrate where you’ve already been • feel inspired about where to go next We’d really love your feedback: • What’s the one feature you’d expect from a “world map of your travels” that must be there? • Is there any stat or visualisation you’d be excited to see? Thanks for checking us out and for any comments, questions, or brutally honest feedback 🙏 We’ll be here in the thread answering everything! — The LOUD team
