about mapsyus

OUR STORY

Mapsyus was born from a simple idea: to make travel deeper, easier, and more human.

It all started with two friends—one obsessed with historical alleyways, the other addicted to hidden cafes and quiet corners no one writes about. Tired of bloated “Top 100” lists and one-size-fits-all itineraries, they dreamed of a guide that felt more personal. A tool that didn’t just show you where to go, but helped you experience a place like someone who’s lived there.

From scribbled notes in backpacks to shared Google Docs between time zones, Mapsyus took shape. And soon, it grew into a full collection of curated city guides designed for curious, conscious travelers who want more than just selfies at tourist spots.

What started as a weekend passion project soon evolved into a global resource. Today, Mapsyus is built by a diverse team of locals, travelers, writers, designers, and culture lovers—from Seoul to Sarajevo. Our shared goal is to create something meaningful in a noisy world: guides that feel like a friend who really knows the place.

Our Mission

We believe that travel should be:
  • Inspiring, not overwhelming
  • Authentic, not performative
  • Empowering, not exclusive
  • Rooted in connection, not consumption
We want to help people connect—not just with landmarks, but with local life, culture, and the quiet magic in-between. We aim to help travelers:
  • Learn how to respect the places they visit
  • Understand context, not just content
  • Leave a positive footprint, not just an Instagram trail
Travel is more than movement. It’s a form of listening, learning, and growing.

Who We’re For

Mapsyus is for dreamers who plan, planners who dream. For the curious, the conscious, the creative. For people who want to:

  • Travel like locals, not tourists
  • Get more from less
  • Trade checklists for experiences
  • Slow down, look up, and stay present
  • Discover the soul of a city, not just its skyline

Whether you’re on a weekend break or a year-long journey, we help you explore with intention.

Let’s Get Lost—Beautifully

Wherever you’re headed next, let Mapsyus help you travel better. Not faster. Not fancier. Just better.

Because the world isn’t a bucket list. It’s a story—and we want to help you write yours.

Our guides are not about how many things you can squeeze into a day. They’re about what you’ll remember years from now: that quiet bookstore in Porto, the family-run cafe in Osaka, the sound of prayer echoing across Sarajevo’s old town.
