Who we are
About Us
The family behind MonkeyEatingMango
We are a family of 3 — husband, wife, and an 11-year-old kid.
We were tired of spending hours and hours on trip planning, and still having this sinking feeling that our trips could be better.
We built MonkeyEatingMango to fix that, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
(Also, we're a bit shy to share our photos just now)

Common questions
About MonkeyEatingMango
Who built MonkeyEatingMango?
A family — husband, wife, and kid — built MonkeyEatingMango to solve their own trip planning frustration. After hours of switching between spreadsheets, map tabs, and travel blogs to plan a single trip, they built the tool they wanted to use themselves.
Is MonkeyEatingMango really free?
Yes, today: unlimited AI itinerary generation, multi-currency budget tracking, and free PDF, Excel, and Google Sheets export. No signup or credit card required. Affiliate revenue from optional booking links covers the AI compute cost. A freemium tier may come later if costs scale faster than affiliate revenue.
How is MonkeyEatingMango different from Wanderlog, TripIt, or other planners?
MonkeyEatingMango generates a complete day-by-day plan in a few minutes from 8 questions. Wanderlog and TripIt are manual planners that require you to add each place yourself. We are also free for PDF, Excel, and Google Sheets export, which most competitors paywall at around $40/year. The trade-off: we do not offer real-time collaborative editing like Wanderlog.
Where does the travel data come from?
Itineraries combine AI inference for personalization with verified real-world data — real venue details, landmark photos from Wikimedia Commons, community-curated knowledge from Wikivoyage, and live commute calculations. The goal is grounded, accurate output rather than the hallucination-prone results you get from raw ChatGPT-style prompts.
Do I need to sign up to use it?
No. You can generate an itinerary, view it, and export it as PDF, Excel, or Google Sheets without an account. Signing in with Google is optional and only useful if you want to save trips across devices.
Can I see what MonkeyEatingMango produces before trying it?
Yes — browse 200+ pre-built itineraries at the itineraries directory, organized by country, duration, and travel style. Each one is a complete day-by-day plan with costs, maps, and food guides — exactly what the AI generator produces for custom trips.
