Arimo Travels doesn’t stop with this generator—I’ve also developed ones for each US state. That includes the surrounding states Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. You can view the full list on the Random Generators page.

This website, Arimo Travels, started as a travel blog during my two-year journey around the world. Over time, I expanded my focus to include topics like flightless travel and random generators. Learn more about the site here.

While many of my generators are travel-related, some go beyond that. For instance, I’ve built generators for picking random charities to donate to and random story ideas.
