The Timeline is your personal travel feed — a dynamic space where you can showcase upcoming adventures, see where friends are heading, and find groups to join. Whether you're curating, traveling, or just planning ahead, the Timeline makes it easy to signal where you'll be and when — turning your plans into opportunities to connect.


1. What Shows Up on My Timeline?

Your Timeline may include:

  • Upcoming reservations — shows destination, dates, and guest list

  • Trips — planned travel, even without a booking

  • Joinable bookings — group stays that are public or shared with you

  • Shared trips from friends or Circles (Feature coming soon)

Each entry may display:

  • City and country

  • Start and end dates

  • Property name and booking status (for confirmed reservations)

  • Option to view or request to join (if available)


2. How Do I Add or Edit a Trip?

To add or edit a trip:

  1. Tap the plus icon in the navigation bar or open your Profile > Timeline

  2. Tap "Add Trip" or select an existing one to edit

  3. Choose your destination and travel dates

  4. Optional:

    • Link a reservation

    • Set visibility (public, followers only, or private)

Note: Adding a Trip does not make a reservation. It's just a way to indicate future travel plans.


3. Who Can See My Timeline?

You control who sees your Timeline:

  • Go to Settings > Privacy

  • Choose Timeline visibility (feature coming soon):

    • Public — visible to everyone

    • Followers Only — visible to people who follow you

    • Private — visible only to you

You will also be able to hide individual reservations from your Timeline. For now, bookings can be marked either hidden or public.


4. What Is the Timeline For?

The Timeline helps you:

  • Keep track of your own travel plans

  • Coordinate with friends and mutuals

  • Discover joinable group stays nearby or in advance

This is especially helpful for:

  • Curators managing trips

  • Frequent travelers

  • Users open to shared plans and meetups


5. Tips for Using Timeline Well

  • Add Trips even if you haven’t booked yet — it’s a way to say “I’ll be in Lisbon this weekend”

  • Adjust visibility settings based on the type of trip

  • Use the Timeline to coordinate, not just record


6. What’s the Difference Between Trips, Reservations, and Bookings?

Buenro uses three travel terms:

Term

Description

Trip

A user-created signal — “I’ll be in X from July 10–14” (no booking needed)

Reservation

A confirmed stay with dates and guest list

Booking

The full process — from setting up a group to confirming payment

The Timeline can display all three. Only Trips are fully editable and private by default.
