On a flight from London to Sydney, Janeece Keller overheard a conversation between some children and their parents. The kids complained they had nothing fun to do when they arrived. It was a light-bulb moment and the business idea of creating a travel guide specifically for kids was born.
Bound Round creates fully interactive travel guide apps for kids 7-12 years. It can also be used as a travel journal so kids can capture and share their travel adventures. Bound Round travel app has been downloaded over 7500 times and featured in the App Store reaching #9.
