While on a trip, users frequently share their experiences on social media platforms e.g., by uploading photos of specific locations and times of day. Their uploaded data serves as an asset when it comes to gathering information on their journey. In this paper, we leverage social media, more explicitly photo uploads and their tags, to reverse engineer historic user itineraries. Our solution grounds on Markov decision processes that capture the sequential nature of itineraries. The tags attached to the photos provide the factors to generate possible configurations and prove crucial for contextualising the proposed approach. Empirically, we observe that the predicted itineraries are more accurate than standard path planning algorithms.",
