Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1

User input: "Design a 30-day slow travel experience through Portugal by train. Not just sightseeing — I want to feel like I lived there."

Expected output: Pod-based itinerary — 3 towns, 10 days each — with neighborhood-living setup (local market shopping, café-as-office, language-exchange meetups), deep-dive themes (azulejo art, port wine, fado music), and 'resident-for-a-week' immersion activities.

Scenario 2

User input: "I have 2 weeks but want a slow travel experience in Japan. What's realistic?"

Expected output: Single-region focus recommendation (Kansai: Kyoto + Nara + rural Uji) with 4-5 day stays per location, morning rituals (temple meditation, tea ceremony), afternoon explorations (craft workshops, countryside walks), and no-transfer-day buffer built into schedule.

Scenario 3

User input: "Convert my usual checklist-style itinerary into a slow-travel version for Tuscany."

Expected output: Before/after transformation — from '7 towns in 5 days' to '2 towns in 7 days' with fewer destinations, deeper experiences (olive harvest participation, nonna cooking mentorship, village festival attendance), and spaciousness principles applied throughout.

Scenario 4: 慢游大理

User input: "不想走马观花去旅游，想去大理待一个月，过一下'有风的地方'那种慢生活，怎么安排好？"

Expected output: 设计大理慢生活月计划：第一周——住古城民宿，每天睡到自然醒，逛古城菜市场买菜做饭，傍晚去人民路听民谣；第二周——移居到喜洲古镇，学扎染、逛稻田、喝咖啡发呆；第三周——搬到洱海东岸的双廊，骑车环海、每天换个角度看苍山；第四周——回大理或去沙溪古镇，整理这一个月的感悟。预算建议：民宿月租约2000-4000元（比日租省60%），餐饮月均1500-2000元。推荐关注大理的'集市日历'（如柴米多集市、床单厂集市）。
