The beauty of being a developer

Hello people!

I'm Diego Massarini, Italian Front-End Dev & Web designer living in Australia.

How to travel Australia

Since I'm living in here I understood one thing; travelling, for Australians, is a really important thing, part of their life, it's in their culture (how cool is that?!).

A country that hosts millions of people every year, giving them the opportunity to explore this magnificent country, far and wide.

Here, the best way to do it is on the road; by motorbike, van or 4x4 and not for a week, but for months!

Tracking the expenses is therefore of vital importance, but often you forget to do it, perhaps you write it down on your hand, in a notebook that it could be lost or eaten by a crocodile.๐Ÿ˜…

For this reason I have developed RoadTrip๐Ÿค™to track your everyday expenses and maybe help you to save money and stay on the road for longer!

Why I've developed it? For myself!

I will be travelling by van from Sydney to Port Douglas and then to Perth! (around 8k km)

My girlfriend and I have always been travelled a lot and one thing that we have never been able to do was to keep the expenses we did during the trip.

And here came the idea.

I remembered that I had all the means to be able to create something really useful, not a navbar (Sorry nav๐Ÿ˜…), a tool.

I understood the real unlimited power and beauty about being a developer: you can literally build something useful, maybe only for you.
