How Are the Questions Decided?

Townee’s vision is to build a space where people can feel at home.
The questions aren’t simply to find the best hidden gems. They are designed around each of the stages that a person goes through from ‘new in town’ to feeling like you’re at home.

No matter whether you’re moving, traveling or just researching the area – the questions are designed to get to the heart of the information that matters.
