Raja Ampat, Indonesia

The Greatest Group Trip Never Taken

Six friends, one shared page, and a rule that keeps planning sane: everyone gets one thoughtful change per day until the trip feels real enough to book.

the plan

A real itinerary the group can improve without reopening chaos.

The first version sets the route, budget notes, transfers, meals, and the one non-negotiable view. Each friend adds a single daily change, so the plan gets more personal without turning the group chat into a second job.

latest change

The Raja Ampat plan is open. One friend gets to make today's change.

A tabletop covered in maps, postcards, coffee, shells, keys, and planning notes for a friends trip
current plan contains

4 days, 3 boat rides, 1 unresolved breakfast debate

shared route

Four days from maybe to bookable.

Specific enough to make decisions, flexible enough for everyone to leave a fingerprint.

Day 1arrival

Sorong arrivals and the softest possible landing

Flights land at different hours, so the first night stays simple: hotel keys, spicy soup, cash sorted, no big decisions.

Day 2signature scene

Boat to the islands, phones already forgotten

The group crosses toward Kri with reef water on both sides, two card games, and six versions of the same impossible photo.

Day 3open slot

Piaynemo lookout and the snack vote

Kayaks, the lookout stairs, a quiet lagoon, and a group vote over whether cassava chips count as lunch.

Day 4final memory

Last reef, long table, no one ready to leave

One final snorkel, grilled fish by the water, the best bad toast, and a promise to stop saying this was impossible to plan.

today's change

One move. Make it count.

The daily limit makes the plan calmer. A change has to be useful, funny, beautiful, or worth defending over dinner.

Next change unlocks tomorrow, after everyone has had time to read the plan instead of skimming it.

project room

The trip becomes something everyone can recognize.

Every daily change is small. The page keeps the memory, the credit, and the decisions in one place.
