Why I built BST
In 2025 I saw a news report about two British tourists who were drugged and robbed in Brazil in a scam known locally as Boa Noite Cinderela. They lost nearly 3,000 euros.
Scams like that are common and often preventable. That was the reason I decided to build BST. I do not want travelers to discover too late what they could have known before leaving the hotel.
The app came from that frustration and from the desire to turn local knowledge into real protection for people who are far from home.
