We're looking for Android testers. 😊

This summer a few friends and I did Interrail through six countries. A few days in, the group chat is usually full of screenshots, booking codes and "wait, who paid for the lunch?". But we built an app to fix it before the trip - and got hooked. It's called Deline, and it's been on the App Store now since August.

It does two main things (and more):

- The whole trip on one timeline. Flights, trains, hotels, dinners and plans, each on its own colored line, and everyone in the group sees the same thing on their phone. Screenshot a booking or forward the confirmation email and it lands in the right spot.

- Splitting costs. Add what you paid and pick who was in on it, or photograph the receipt and tap who ordered what. At the end it tells you who owes who.

We've shipped a lot since launch. The newest thing is stats: a map every country you've been to (your own digital scratch map) and a bunch of fun numbers from your travels.

Now it's Android's turn. We're running a testing period and want real people using it, whether you have a trip coming up or just want to poke around.

➡️ If you're on Android and want in, sign up with your email at out website and we'll send you a link.

If you're on iPhone, it's already free on the App Store.

And if you know someone on Android who's always the one planning the group trip, send this to them. It helps us a lot.

I'm excited to share something very close to my heart: the Women in Travel Enterprising Tour Guiding Academy, running right here in Berlin.

I work with Women in Travel CIC, a London-based social enterprise dedicated to opening the tourism industry to women from underrepresented backgrounds – women who deserve a real chance to step into this space.

What it's about: building confidence, practical guiding skills, storytelling, and guest communication – all through a female-focused lens. We're not just training; we're creating visibility, empowerment, and a community.

The program runs in two phases:

Phase 1 – Workshops & Coaching (approx. 6 weeks):

A blend of online and in-person workshops focused on guiding fundamentals, storytelling, guest communication, and building confidence in front of an audience.

Phase 2 – Women-Led Tour Development (approx. 4 weeks):

Two participants will be selected to develop their very own Berlin tour – from concept to creation. These tours will be promoted and sold through Women in Travel CIC's Women-Led Tours platform, giving them real visibility and a genuine entry into the tourism industry.

We have 3 spots left. If you are a woman from an underrepresented background, love sharing stories, meeting people, and are curious about working in tourism – this could be for you. And it is totally for free.

What you need:

- Berlin-based
- A valid work permit in Germany
- Good English skills (B1 or above)
- A genuine interest in culture, people, and storytelling

The program starts early October. Our info session is this Thursday, 24 September.

Know someone who'd be a great fit? Email her, share this post, or reach out to me (Sandra Hengesbach) directly (coordinator_berlin@womenintravelcic.com).

Let's open this door together.
