Spread the word
Travel Cards
The "Travel Cards" deck is a poker card deck that allow you to communicate with other people without the need of using words. It is extremely useful if you go on vacation to a place you don't know the language they speak.
The deck contains high quality icons and silhouettes of the most used words you would use on vacation. They are divided into 4 categories: feeding, activities, transport and help.
It works for every language in the world, as this is not an English-to-another-language translator, it's a universal translator.

Main features
The "Travel Cards" deck is a traditional poker card deck with the added value of being a multilingual translator with the most used words by travelers, which have been selected after asking a significant group of frequent travelers.
Why this is important
Two years ago I went on vacation to Japan. My level of English is quite high, so I supposed I wouldn't have any problems to communicate with the people there, although when I arrived, I saw that their English was quite a bit different than mine.After some attempts asking where was the beach at the hotel receptionist and his coworkers, we finally understood each other using symbols and signs.
It was in that precise moment when the idea of a multilingual translator was born, as there are lots of persons who go on vacation to places where neither their language nor any other known is not spoken.
Goals of the crowdfunding campaign
The main goal of this project is to raise the minimum funds to design and print the "Travel Cards".Also, find distribution points like book stores, toy stores, travel agencies or any other interested shops.
