About Footprints Maps

A man called Rabbit walking towards the camera wearing sunglasses on a beach.

Our founder, Rabbit, has always been passionate about exploring new places. But while traveling, he noticed how time-consuming it was to find unique experiences without endless research. Determined to make trip planning easier, he began compiling lists of must-visit spots and hidden gems. What started as a simple way to streamline his own adventures quickly grew into something bigger—a tool to help other travellers explore effortlessly while supporting small businesses along the way.

From Idea to Reality

A Need for Change

Rabbit’s early travels revealed how hard it was to efficiently plan a trip, leading him to wonder: why isn’t there an app that makes this easier?

Supporting Local Businesses

A roadside bakery’s viral success highlighted the need for affordable advertising in regional areas, sparking an idea—what if travellers and businesses could benefit from each other?

The Road Ahead

Now, Footprints Maps is gearing up for launch, built to help travellers explore more while strengthening regional communities. And this is just the beginning.

Mapping the Experience

Inspired by video games like Red Dead Redemption 2, he envisioned an interactive map where users could discover locations, track their travels, and even earn rewards for exploring.

Bringing the Vision to Life

With encouragement from a friend, Combi and input from key collaborators, the idea evolved. A discovery phase was conducted, and the foundation for Footprints Maps was set.
