Hi there! I'm Ryan Li, a travel enthusiast and self-taught web builder. I've always been fascinated by exploring new places, learning about different cultures, and finding the best ways to make travel accessible for everyone.
By day, I work in tech, but my real passion is travel — from backpacking through Southeast Asia to road-tripping across Europe. Over the years, I've visited more than 30 countries and picked up countless tips, tricks, and tools that make travel planning easier. This website is where I bring all of that together.
Here's the honest truth: I got tired of searching for travel information online and finding nothing but spammy blogs stuffed with ads, outdated calculators that didn't work, and sites that wanted my email before telling me anything useful.
I thought: "There has to be a better way."
So I decided to build HappiJourneys.com — a clean, fast, completely free collection of travel tools that actually work. No sign-ups. No paywalls. No clutter. Just useful tools that help you plan your trip.
Every tool on this site was created because I needed it myself at some point during my travels. If I found myself manually calculating flight times or struggling with time zone math, I figured other travelers would too.
HappiJourneys is not a "build it and forget it" project. I'm committed to continuously improving and expanding the site. Here's what I plan to keep delivering:
| Category | Current / Planned |
|---|---|
| Travel Planning Tools | Flight time, distance, time zone, best time to visit, trip duration planner |
| Budget Tools | Trip cost estimator, currency converter, budget calculator, gas cost, per diem |
| Health & Safety | Vaccination checker, jet lag recovery, insurance needs, altitude sickness, risk assessment |
| Packing & Luggage | Packing list generator, luggage checker, clothing weight calculator, suitcase optimizer |
| Travel Utilities | Visa checker, points converter, tipping calculator, weather guide, document checklist |
| Blog Content | 30+ articles with regular updates — packing tips, destination guides, budget advice |
My promise: I will keep adding new tools, updating existing ones with better data, and publishing useful travel content. If there's a tool you'd like to see, just let me know — I build based on what travelers actually need.
