Meal prep for travelers
Plan meals around whatever kitchen you're in that week. Joeys works for Airbnbs, hotel rooms, and days on the road.
The problem
- Hotel breakfasts are mid and overpriced
- Airbnb kitchens have one pan and zero spices
- Road days mean gas-station snacks and regret
- You can't bring half your usual ingredients
- Eating out three meals a day adds up fast
Your 3-day sample plan

Questions
- Will this work for a 3-day work trip?
- Yes. Short trips get a 'minimal kitchen' plan — usually 4-5 meals you can assemble in a hotel room with a quick grocery stop.
- What about international travel?
- Joeys leans on whatever's locally available. Tell it where you're going and it suggests meals you can build from a local market.
- I'm road-tripping. Any specific support?
- Yes — road-day mode emphasizes portable food, not cooked meals. Reheats, wraps, snacks, and assembly meals at rest stops.
- Can I plan for a long Airbnb stay?
- Yes. Set the trip length and Joeys treats the Airbnb like a normal home kitchen — full week plans, single grocery trip.
- Will it tell me what to pack?
- Yes — a small 'travel pantry' list (olive oil, salt, your favorite spice, a knife) that makes most Airbnb meals doable.
