About Find My Way Trip
Find My Way Trip is a comprehensive cultural guide to public holidays, festivals, and celebrations around the world—built for travelers, remote teams, event planners, and the globally curious.
Our Mission
We believe understanding global holidays bridges cultures and improves planning. Whether you're scheduling international meetings, planning travel itineraries, managing remote teams across time zones, or simply exploring cultural traditions, reliable holiday information should be accessible to everyone.
Our goal is to provide accurate, culturally respectful holiday data alongside rich context about origins, observance customs, regional variations, and practical impacts—all in one trusted, ad-free resource.
How We Work
Trusted Sources
We compile dates from government gazettes, official tourism boards, cultural organizations, UN calendars, and verified open datasets like Britannica and national heritage sites.
Cultural Context
Each festival article explains what it is, when and why dates vary, historical origins, how it's observed at home and in public, regional variations, and practical planning impacts.
Global Coverage
From Diwali in India to Waitangi Day in New Zealand, from Lunar New Year across Asia to Bastille Day in France—we cover major public holidays, religious festivals, and national days worldwide.
Fast & Static
All data is generated at build time and served as static JSON and HTML. No databases, no server delays—just instant access from edge servers worldwide via modern CDN infrastructure.
Privacy First
We don't track personal data, require logins, or use cookies beyond essential functionality. No user profiles, no behavioral tracking—your browsing is private.
Accessible Design
Built with semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and responsive layouts. We follow WCAG guidelines to ensure content is accessible to all users, including those using assistive technologies.
Data Quality & Transparency
Holiday dates can be complex. Many follow lunar calendars, vary by region, or depend on government announcements. We clearly indicate:
- Fixed dates (e.g., Christmas: always December 25)
- Variable dates (e.g., Easter: calculated from lunar calendar)
- Approximate dates (e.g., Ramadan: confirmed ~2 months before)
- Regional differences (e.g., Orthodox vs. Western Christmas)
Each article includes source citations so you can verify information independently. When official dates haven't been announced yet, we state this clearly and provide estimated dates based on traditional calculation methods.
