Why Wanderlust02

Not a chatbot. Not a folder. A trip you actually live.

A chatbot gives you a wall of text. A trip-storage app files what you already booked. Wanderlust builds the plan itself — on a map, with real city, cost and safety data — and then comes with you on the ground.

Generic AI · e.g. ChatGPT

Great ideas, nowhere to put them.

Suggestions in a chat thread. No map, no itinerary it can edit, no day it can reroute, nothing that comes with you once you land.

Trip storage · e.g. TripIt

A filing cabinet.

Organizes the confirmations you've already booked. It won't plan the days in between, or reroute them when you change your mind.

Wanderlust

A planner that comes along.

Drafts your days on a map, answers from real city, cost & safety data, optimizes each day's route, then runs the trip offline in your pocket — and turns it into something worth sharing.

How it works03

The whole arc: plan it, live it, share it.

No onboarding quiz. No 40-field form. Pick a place and a pace — Wanderlust drafts the plan, runs the trip with you on the ground, and turns it into something worth sharing.

Plan it — grounded

Pick a place. Get a day-by-day plan.

Tell it where and when, who's coming, your budget and anything you can't miss. Wanderlust drafts a day-by-day itinerary of real places, timed and pinned to a map.

  • Refine it in chat. The assistant works from our city, cost and safety data, and changes your trip only when you say yes.
  • Optimize Day. Reroutes a day's stops for the least time in transit, keeps your hotel, flights and timed plans anchored, and shows the minutes you'll save before you commit.
  • One map, web and iOS. Your itinerary pinned in one place — drag to reorder on web and in the iOS app.
Live it — offline · Trip Mode

Today's plan, and when to leave for it.

Trip Mode lives in the Wanderlust iOS app — open the app on a trip day and it goes straight there. It loads from your saved trip, so it works with no signal.

  • Now and next. In your destination's time zone, it highlights your current stop, counts down to the next one and tells you when to leave for it.
  • Flights, when you have signal. Flight cards show live status, gate and delays.
  • One-tap directions. Open any stop in Apple or Google Maps.
Share it — and discover

Every great trip becomes someone else's starting point.

Make a trip public and send the link. Friends see the day-by-day plan — never your private details.

  • Explore. Explore puts trips other travelers shared next to small-group trips you can book, in one feed.
  • Make it yours. Hit “Clone this trip” on a shared journey, or “plan my own version” on a group trip, and its itinerary becomes your own — ready to reshape around your dates, group, and budget.
What else it does04

Everything a trip needs, nothing it doesn't.

Most travel apps are either a search engine pretending to be a planner, or a spreadsheet pretending to be an app. Wanderlust is a planner first — shaped by how people actually go on trips.

Bucketlist01

Save places the moment you find them.

Paste a Google Maps link — or any page about a place — and it's pinned to your bucketlist map. The assistant reads your list when it suggests where to go next.

Plan together02

Plan with your people.

Invite your travel companions and build the trip together, live: everyone sees each edit, and who else is in the plan, as it happens. Only the organizer needs Pro — everyone else joins free.

Start a shared trip →
New-tab extension03

A new destination on every tab.

The free Wanderlust New Tab extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge puts a new city on every tab you open — and Around Me finds good places near you, no sign-in needed.

Guides & itineraries04

Editor-curated plans to start from.

Don't start from a blank page. Pick a guide written by a real traveler — a week in Portugal, a long weekend in Mexico City — and reshape it around your dates, group, and budget.

Travel Passport05

Every country, a stamp. Every trip, a receipt you're proud of.

Wanderlust keeps a living map of everywhere you've been. Stamp countries as you go — or backfill a lifetime of trips in a few minutes — and watch your globe fill up.

  • Stamp it in one tap.

    Tap a country on the globe, or tick it off the list. Backfilling years of travel takes minutes.

  • A recap worth posting.

    Download a Travel Wrapped image of every country you've stamped — or share it straight from the iOS app.

  • Private by default, shareable on command.

    Your map stays yours until you make your profile public — then friends can see it at your profile link.

Questions08

The ones we actually get.

01Is it really free to plan a whole trip?
Yes. You can draft trips, build a bucketlist, track your visited countries, and browse city guides on the free plan. The AI assistant is included on every plan. We make money when you upgrade to Pro for unlimited AI-built itineraries, trip invites for your travel companions, and insider tips on every city page — and from a commission on some booking links, which never costs you more.
02How is Wanderlust different from asking ChatGPT?
A chatbot can suggest an itinerary. Wanderlust's assistant answers from our city database, your bucketlist, and the countries you've already been to — and it can add and move stops in your actual trip, which lives on a map you can edit, share, and take with you on the ground.
03What does the Travel Passport do?
It's a living map of everywhere you've been. Tap countries as you visit them, see how much of the world you've covered, and share a profile of your travels with friends — or keep it private as a personal year-end ritual.
04Can I try Pro before I pay?
There's no free trial of Pro itself, but the free plan includes Generous daily AI chat + 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days, so you can see the tools in action before upgrading. Pro is $6.99/mo or $59.99/yr, cancel anytime.
05Which countries do you cover?
Planning and passport tracking work anywhere in the world, and our city guides span 190+ countries. The deepest guides cover the most-travelled cities, and city pages are refreshed on a rolling basis.
06Is my travel data private?
Yes. Your trips, passport, and bucketlist are private by default. Share a single-link version when you want friends to see it; otherwise it stays with you.
