Late-night spreadsheets. Three-week group chats. The friend who never paid you back. We've lived all of it. After hundreds of trips with friends, we built Escapor so planning a getaway feels like the start of the adventure, not the hardest part of it.
Every group trip used to start the same way.
A burst of excitement on the group chat. Then weeks of silence, half-paid invoices, screenshots of menus, and one friend doing all the work. We've been that friend, hundreds of times. So we built a better way.
The Group Chat Spiral
It starts with 'guys, we should plan something.' It ends with 200 unread messages, three abandoned polls, and a Google Doc nobody opened.
Money Ruins the Vibe
Someone covered the apartment. Someone else paid for dinner. Three weeks later, you're awkwardly chasing payments and the friendship gets tested.
The Trip That Never Lands
Half the group wants beaches, half wants mountains. Nobody can agree, dates slip, and the trip you all wanted quietly dies in the chat.
The One Friend Who Plans
There's always one. Booking flights, chasing payments, building itineraries. They love you, but they're exhausted. We were that friend.
How a real trip comes together.
We walked through hundreds of group trips before designing this. Here's how yours starts in Escapor.
Drop the idea.
Someone says 'we should do something.' Open Escapor, name the trip, invite the group. Done in 30 seconds, not 30 messages.
Get to a yes.
Pick dates everyone can do, vote on the destination, let the AI build a first-draft itinerary that actually respects everyone's vibe.
Travel without the spreadsheet.
Bookings, receipts, splits, last-minute changes, all in one place. The trip runs itself. You just enjoy it.
Come home square.
Final splits settle in a tap. The memories live in a shared timeline. The next trip is already half-planned in the chat.
We didn't build this in a vacuum.
Escapor was shaped by the people who use it. Hundreds of trips, thousands of small frustrations, every one of them quietly informing the product. You're not joining an app, you're joining the people building it.
How Escapor connects the group
Share Your Trip
Post the highlights, rate the spots, drop the warnings. Help the next group go in informed, not blindfolded.
Find Your Travel People
Most of us have one or two friend groups we travel well with. Find more. The world's full of them, you just haven't met them yet.
Real Local Knowledge
The best spots are still passed person to person. Escapor just makes that easier, so you go in already knowing where the locals actually eat.
