why vou?

Every great trip starts the same way: someone types "ok but we HAVE to do a girls trip this year" into the group chat. Everyone hearts it. And then… nothing.

The dates never get pinned down. The Pinterest boards live in five different heads. Someone fronts the Airbnb and spends the next month gently reminding everyone it exists. The photos scatter across ten camera rolls. And the plan itself, the whole reason you wanted to go, dies somewhere in a thousand blue bubbles.

On our last trip, two of us separately bought a clothes steamer. Nobody had called it in the chat, so now we own two. Then we sat down and worked out who owed whom, down to the penny, and somehow the same $200 just bounced back and forth between the same two people until we gave up and called it even.

I built vou because I was tired of watching the trips we all wanted quietly not happen. Not because we didn't love each other. Because coordinating a group of busy women is genuinely hard, and a group chat was never built to do it.

So vou does the boring parts so you get the fun ones. Vote on dates until one actually sticks. Build the itinerary together. Split the bill so nobody's chasing anybody for their half. Keep every photo in one place. Send one link, and for once, actually go.

It started as a way to get my girls somewhere together. But it was never really about the trips. It's about the people you keep meaning to see, and making it fun and easy enough that you finally do. A whole week away or one dinner on a Tuesday. That's who it's for. That's the whole thing. 💖
