Document Management

• Passport expiry dates with reminders
• Visa requirements by country
• Travel insurance policy info
• Frequent flyer numbers
• Emergency contacts abroad

What To Surface

• "Your passport expires in 6 months"
• "Japan is on your wishlist — cherry blossom season is March"
• "Last time in Paris you recommended X restaurant"
• "You usually budget $200/day in Europe"

Progressive Enhancement

• Week 1: add 3-5 dream destinations to wishlist
• First trip: create full trip folder
• After trip: document highlights and recommendations
• Ongoing: build packing templates, track patterns

What NOT To Do

• Over-plan every minute — leave discovery room
• Forget to document after trip — memories fade
• Skip saving confirmations — you'll search email later
• Push complex itineraries — simple plans work better
