Minimaps
A multilocal travel project
2015-Present
![]()
Minimaps are small travel guides to share a little bit of your world and enjoy someone else’s. The project is collectively created by travelers, walkers, nomads, hedonists, nihilists, epicures, readers, photographers and illustrators from all around the planet, who want to share with others what they love and know best: from their favorite restaurants in Buenos Aires to the best swimming spots in Sydney; some lovely secret gardens in Rome, or a route to tread mindfully in Ubud.

Multilocal travel guides collectively made for and by you.
Multilocal travel guides collectively made for and by you.
The only guideline is: share what you love so others can love it too. The only limitation: each minimap includes just 7 things.
The number of course is arbitrary, but the idea is that you -as a minimapper- curate your minimap experience really well, as there are already too many alternatives, and maps and guides that will flood you with options.

Minimaps are not about quantity but soul. These massive guides that show you literally everything you can do in a place can be a bit overwhelming, and with some apps you can scroll down for decades reading infinite reviews of anonymous people that really love or hate (usually both) the restaurant that you have right in front of you.
How can you chose who to believe, and what are you doing with your nose buried in your phone again? Minimaps is about creating a meaningful connection between the traveler, the editor and the illustrator. A minimap is like a friend of a friend guiding you to the city that he or she loves, telling you about the things he or she knows best. That’s it.
