#MonzosSummerHolidayDataThing šŸ›« šŸ“Š

All this week on our social channels weā€™re taking a look into the trends weā€™ve been seeing in our customersā€™ travel spending - as international travel returns to levels close to 2019 for the first time.

Just like we did in December, weā€™ve translated this data into memes and maps to be shared all over social.

Iā€™ve went ahead and created this dedicated space for any discussion that there is on the back of the posts you might see and also allowing us to link up with an AMA weā€™ve got this week with @chrisdoughty who sourced all the data points for the campaign.

So if thereā€™s a specific meme that youā€™d like a more in depth explanation into - Chris will do his best to explain how we got the data to validate the meme :thinking:

Slightly unrelated but I have to say I normally like Monzoā€™s photoshop/drawing skillz but this linked post looks like a five year old did it. Could they not have chosen a nicer card graphic. I know that Iā€™m a pedant but this was the first thing I noticed and it totally distracted me from any useful message.

Should have used the Sunshine Yellow :sunshine: card surely :sunny::beach_umbrella:

But this is the trend nowadays. Poor Photoshop skills to make yourself look all hip. ā€œLook I donā€™t even care to make this meme greatā€

@chrisdoughty does this include data from connected accounts?

Ha those are much better

Yeah I get that. I donā€™t mind the overall crappiness of it, more the fuzziness of the card and the fact it couldā€™ve been a neon or plus card :wink:

:wave: for this project we only analysed data from Monzo accounts

Itā€™s still better than my rejected submission. I was aiming to capture the fuzziness of data analysis :art:

Is it a trick question?

Itā€™s the UK since the UK isnā€™t in the EU anymore?

Iā€™m guessing London to narrow it down to a area.

USA seems logical, but I think itā€™s too expensive for a demographic that likes RyanAir. So itā€™s gotta be Turkey by process of elimination. Itā€™s an odd inclusion among the rest of that list otherwise!

I chose Brazil as itā€™s the only one on the list Iā€™ve been to other than the USA. As a woman of child bearing age there is not a single chance Iā€™ll risk being in the USA right now.

I was thinking Turkey but didnā€™t think it would be the first option on the poll if it was the correct answer :man_shrugging:
