Landed in Lisbon two hours ago and I’m already three pastéis de nata deep. Taking suggestions for number four.

Early access
Get in before we pull off the heist
Tell us why you’re here and we’ll send the right updates while we finish building.
Founding sellers pay no fees for three months, and founding Heist Network members get three months free.
Chiang Mai
Thailand 7 Days
Temples before breakfast and khao soi for basically every other meal (no regrets). We hiked up to Doi Suthep in flip-flops, so please learn from our mistakes and wear real shoes.
Roatán
Honduras 7 Days
Two dives a day with a hammock nap in between, which is our idea of a perfect schedule. Nights in West End end whenever the power goes out (part of the charm, we promise).
Bali
Indonesia 7 Days
We got to the rice terraces at sunrise, before the giant-swing photo crowd rolled in. The rest of the week happened on a scooter we only sort of knew how to ride (thank you, guardian angels).
For Travelers Who Went
Your trips are worth something
You did the research and found the places nobody else knows about. Now let other travelers pay you for it, and put that toward your next trip.

What the Heist Network is saying
Sam W.Medellín, ColombiaExample
First week in Medellín and I’ve already been adopted by the guy who sells empanadas outside my building.
Mo K.Santorini, GreeceExample
Skip the sunset crowd in Oia. Walk the path to Imerovigli with a cold beer instead (you can thank me later).
Ana L.Mexico City, MexicoExample
Get to Contramar right when it opens. The tuna tostadas go fast, and so does your willpower.
Priya S.Planning RoatánExample
Anyone been to Roatán in October? Is it rainy season or just a little moody?
Leo M.Planning JapanExample
Is the JR Pass still worth it if we’re only doing Tokyo and Kyoto?
Jess T.Chiang Mai, ThailandExample
Did the Chiang Mai 7-day plan last month. The khao soi stall from day one was worth the whole thing.
Kai R.Roatán, HondurasExample
Used the Roatán plan for our anniversary. The tiny dive shop it sent us to was the best part of the trip.

Hi, we’re Mariya and Sam
Two millennials who work remote and travel full-time. We built Trip Heist after one too many trips planned off listings nobody had checked, including an Airbnb that didn’t exist.

FAQ
What is a travel itinerary?
A travel itinerary is a day-by-day plan for a trip, from where you sleep to where you eat. On Trip Heist, every itinerary comes from someone who took the trip.
How do I make a travel itinerary?
Pick your dates, list the places you can’t miss, then map each day so you’re not crossing the city twice. Or skip the spreadsheet and buy one from a traveler who already did the legwork.
Can I get a travel itinerary without paying a travel agent?
Yes. A Trip Heist itinerary is a one-time purchase from a real traveler, so you get a tested plan without agency fees or a sales pitch. You book everything yourself, on your own schedule.
Do I need a travel agent?
Not for most trips. An agent earns their keep on complicated group bookings, but if you want a great plan and like booking your own flights and stays, an itinerary from someone who took that exact trip covers it.
How are Trip Heist itineraries verified?
A real person on our team reviews every itinerary before it goes on sale. We confirm the seller took the trip and check that every stop still exists and is worth your time. No made-up islands.
Can I sell my travel itineraries?
Yes. Write up a trip you’ve taken, we verify it, and it goes on sale in the marketplace. Founding sellers pay Trip Heist nothing for the first three months, then 20% per sale.
What is the Heist Network?
It’s our community for people who plan their year around the next trip. Ask questions, swap recommendations, and read member stories and trip tips. Membership is $9.99 a month after launch, and founding members get the first three months free.
