Part 1

Discovery & The Inspiration Gap

This section explores the friction between seeing a "vibe" and booking it.

1 Where do you typically find travel inspiration?

TikTok Instagram Travel Blogs / YouTube Other:

2 When you find inspiration online, how do you feel when you cannot easily find a way to book exactly what you see?

3 What specific visual elements make a travel video feel "authentic" to you rather than a "tourist trap"?

4 How much time do you spend "verifying" a social media trend on sites like TripAdvisor before you feel safe booking?

Less than 30 minutes 1–2 hours 3+ hours / I need extensive peer proof

Part 2

Social Connection & "Tribe" Dynamics

Identifying the "loneliness epidemic" and fears regarding group travel.

5 Have you ever felt socially isolated while traveling, even if you were in a crowded place?

Yes No

6 What are your top three fears when joining a group of strangers for a trip?

7 How much do you trust an algorithm to choose your travel companions versus choosing them yourself from a list of profiles?

I fully trust an algorithm based on my "vibe." I want to see their profiles first before committing. I only want to travel with people I already know.

Part 3

"Life Swap" & Motivation

Understanding the desire for skill-based travel over traditional sightseeing.

8 If you could "swap lives" with a local for one week, what specific skill would you want to learn?

9 Does the opportunity to gain a tangible skill increase your interest in a destination more than its historical landmarks?

Yes, I prioritize learning and daily local life. No, I still prioritize famous landmarks.

Part 4

Aesthetics & UX (The ROVE "Vibe")

Evaluating the "Gen Z Premium" design and TikTok-style interface.

11 Does the "Sunset" gradient palette (Coral, Magenta, Purple) feel like an authentic representation of Asian travel to you?

Yes, it feels vibrant and modern. No, it feels too "digital" or artificial.

12 Does the "Glassmorphism" (frosted glass) effect help you focus, or does the screen feel too "busy"?

Helps me focus; feels premium. Feels cluttered/distracting.

13 What visual cues make an app feel "too AI-generated" to you?

14 Does the term "Tribe" feel inclusive, or would you prefer a different name for your travel group?

I like "Tribe." I would prefer:

Part 5

Logistics, Safety, & Risk Tolerance

Gauging comfort with house-swapping and host transparency.

15 How much does a host's personal profile and previous reviews influence your decision to book?

Essential; I won't book without it. Important, but not the deciding factor. Not very important.

16 What specific data about a home would you need to see to feel safe participating in "Kindred Hosting" (house-swapping)?

Exact number of bathrooms/beds. Specific amenities (Wi-Fi, kitchen). Neighborhood safety ratings. Verified video tour.

17 Are you willing to be the "public face" of a brand by contributing video reviews in exchange for discounts?

Yes, I'm happy to share my experience. No, I prefer to stay private.
