Real trips · Your dates · Your budget

Trips people actually took. Make one yours.

Every itinerary here was planned, booked and travelled, then written up with what it really cost. Pick one, set your dates and where you're leaving from, and it re-plans itself — days, weather, transfers and a budget for you.

A finished trip in the public viewer: the day-by-day outline, the 'Use this itinerary for my trip' actions, the route on the trip map, and the owner's trip retro.

Make it yours

Someone else's trip, on your dates, from your door

Open any trip and set when you're going and where from. Day dates shift, the weather updates for your week, getting there is routed from your city, and "My costs" adds your fuel, tolls and anything you want on top of the trip's own budget. Save it to come back later — nothing is copied, and the author's plan stays theirs.

What the planner does

Plan it, book it, write it up

  1. A blog post or a list of places becomes a day-by-day, geocoded itinerary with stays, activities and transfers.

    2. Bordeaux2 nights
      Car · 187 km · 2 h 05 min
    3. La Rochelle2 nights

  2. Gaps between stops are spotted and routed with distance and time; walks and rides carry an altitude profile.
