Asking myself since last week what I can do, what we all can do more... so here I'd like to start a discussion thread of ways the tourism industry can help Ukraine 💛 💙- and everyone in travel who is affected. Hands-on and real. After all, travel is about people, cultures, peace and freedom. And tech is again a great accelerator for the 🌍 to work together.
Personally, I am offering a free guest room in my home to a tourism or any other Ukraine student in need. Maybe there are more of us with a similar wish.
So far I have found these platforms / initiatives to join & support, and in travel, I'm sure there is more!
Please add in the thread if you know of any or have further ideas:
• wehelpukraine.org/
• www.bg4ua.com/
• elinor.network/gastfreundschaft-ukraine/
• refugees.ro/
• www.supportukraine-eberswalde.de/
• www.facebook.com/groups/1012497419668646/
• airbnb.org/get-involved
"Peace works better than conflict, and on...

Hi ! Benjamin here, maker of Chronotrains. Thanks Ian for the feature.
I've since been working on some updates to the tool, trying to turn it into a destination discovery helper for train travelers in Europe.
It is now possible to explore destinations up to 8 hours away, see origin/destination trips, get suggestions, and many other UI improvements. Next I'll be focusing on gathering prices and ticket information to make it easier to plan a trip end to end.
Is there anything else you'd like to see on Chronotrains? Let me know here or shoot me an email at ben@chronotrains.com :)
Well done on the updates, this is a fantastic tool for slow travel in Europe!
Are there any interesting trends you’re seeing in user search behavior?
This is a great little website I came across, that allows you to explore how far you can travel in Europe from any major train station, within 5 hours.
Check the website for more details about the project: chronotrains-eu.vercel.app
Love this, travelling from London to Rome via train in the fall!
what tool is creating heat maps like this one? is this tool separable?
That's a question for the author of the app, I'd get in touch with him via Twitter: twitter.com/_benjamintd
