Description:
The Virtual Travel Story Map is a web application that allows users to create and share interactive travel stories by plotting their journeys on a world map. Each location on the map can include photos, videos, notes, and personal experiences, turning travel memories into an engaging visual narrative.

The backend (PHP, Java, or Node.js) manages user accounts, story data, multimedia uploads, and map coordinates. The frontend (HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript) offers an intuitive interface with an interactive map, story timelines, and multimedia galleries.

Key Features:

• User registration and secure login.

• Add multiple travel stories with customizable map markers.

• Upload photos, videos, and write detailed notes for each location.

• Interactive map with zoom and pan features to explore stories.

• Timeline view to navigate trips chronologically.

• Privacy settings to keep stories private, shared with friends, or public.

• Social sharing options for easy distribution on social media.

• Mobile-responsive design for easy use on any device.

Example Use Case:

A traveler documents their backpacking trip across Europe by dropping pins on cities visited, uploading photos and videos, and writing about memorable experiences at each spot. Friends can explore the map and follow the trip story in an engaging, visual format.
