Live Site: 💻 here
This site had been created thinking of providing information in a more personal way about Peruvian touristic attractions and experiencing them. At this stage the information that the site displays had been taken from Wikipedia as it is mentioned in the credits. It has a search engine by name that allows the users to find a specific place of interest. It has different levels of features according to the type of user that accesses the site. For the registed users for example, there is a pin icon that allows them to use the interests option that permits them to bookmark and keep them for future visits. It also opens the option to create a profile and get in touch with the app community. The community functionality is one to be developed in the future.
The target user is a person that enjoys to know new places and is looking for information about Peru's touristic ones, open to the possibity to belong to a community where could be found travelling partners.
It's expected that the user can visualize information about to the touristic places and get them interested to register so that they can interact and in the future, belong to the community.
It's expected that the user can not just visualize information relevant to the touristic places and makes use of interests page, marking down places where they want to get more information about and possibly visit in a future. Also that in the future they join to the community.
It's expected that the admin user can not just access to all the previous features, but that they can post and keep alive the place posting regularily new places, updating them and keeping the control in the interaction of the users and the app. Also managing the community in the future.
The Project board has many others that are not listed here as they are referent to set the project and backend creation.

Will not have. Since the begining have doubts about and in the process I found that it would not add value to the blog as I wanted to approach it. And could affect the reference to the place instead to the post itself.

Won't have. Found that there would not be a need for it. Since in the future with the development of the interaction between profiles and community, there will be direct access to the admin.

For the actual information of the places I had take it from Wikipedia and Peru Travel, the official turistic site of the Peruvian goverment. I plan to add my own experiences about each and add more places when I have the time for after the end of the course.
About the coding, I have to recognize the help of my mentor Brian Macharia, who always is supportive and helpful. Tutor assistance had been great help as well, as there was so much to learn at once. Online I had found a lot of blogs that I had read and seen videos from where I tried to avoid taking code just as it is but understand the logic and from there work. But as in all, there are exceptions as there is just so many ways to do the things.
