Principles
- Keep records simple, factual, and dated.
- Prefer structure over emotion; clarity over volume.
- One small action daily is stronger than a big plan monthly.
Founder Story (Medium)
This is not a travel project.
It is a global price transparency movement.
Same hotel. Same date. Same room — yet prices differ. Some of the lowest prices never appear in search results. They appear only after tapping “Go to site”.
The Global Hotel Price Transparency Project exists to verify and document this reality with real examples, starting in Japan and expanding globally.
