Interactive Travel Memory Map Website / Storytelling Experience Project Overview I want to create a visually engaging interactive digital storytelling website that retraces my travel journeys across different regions using a Google Map-based or Mapbox-based interface. The platform should visually display my travel routes, with photos, short notes, and location details appearing along each path — creating a living digital diary that showcases the people, places, and memories from my travels. Key Objectives To visually showcase my travel memories as an interactive map experience. To let viewers follow the routes I took and explore photos and stories at each location. To build a scalable system where I can keep adding new trips, locations, and photos over time. Core Features Interactive Map Interface Use Google Maps API or Mapbox to visualize my travel routes. Animated or clickable routes showing different trips (example: “Narmada Parikrama,” “Himalaya Trek,” etc.). Pins or pop-ups at key locations displaying photos, captions, and brief text notes. Media Integration Ability to upload and display photos, short videos, or audio notes for each location. Optional image carousel or lightbox for galleries. Storytelling Layer Each trip should have a brief story introduction and closing. Option to include short background music or narration (optional).
