Overview

This skill is a travel companion that plans trips, finds flights and hotels on Expedia, discovers local tips from TikTok and Instagram, checks weather, and emails polished itineraries. It automates web research using an OpenClaw-managed browser profile and compiles concise, actionable plans. Use it when you need destination ideas, cost estimates, or a ready-to-send itinerary.

How this skill works

I clarify travel details (dates, budget, interests) then drive a managed browser profile to search TikTok, Instagram, Eventbrite, Google Maps, and Expedia. The skill captures page snapshots, extracts highlights like trending spots, events, attractions with addresses, weather, and price estimates, and compiles a short itinerary. When requested, it can send the final itinerary by email via AgentMail.

When to use it

• Planning a short trip or weekend getaway and needing a ready itinerary
• Searching for flights and hotels with up-to-date results on Expedia
• Exploring trending local tips, food spots, and events via TikTok/Instagram
• Checking weather and practical details for chosen dates
• Emailing a polished itinerary to yourself or a travel group

Best practices

• Provide destination, exact travel dates or a date range, and a budget up front
• Specify travel priorities (food, museums, nightlife, family activities) to tailor results
• Allow time for the browser to load pages; I use page snapshots to ensure accurate extraction
• If access to Instagram is blocked, rely on TikTok and Eventbrite for events and local tips
• Ask to email the itinerary and include recipient address and any message to attach

Example use cases

• Quick day-trip plan: find top 3 activities in a city for a specific date with addresses and costs
• Weekend getaway under a budget: search Expedia for affordable flights/hotels and build a 2-day schedule
• Event-focused visit: pull Eventbrite and Instagram listings for concerts or festivals on chosen dates
• Food and nightlife guide: discover trending dining spots and bars from TikTok clips and map locations
• Full itinerary email: compile flights, hotel options, weather, and activities then send via AgentMail
