Your journey, one globe at a time
Around The World was born from the need to keep a record of places visited and to plan personal itineraries, without complex apps that track every movement or require invasive accounts.
To create an interactive map experience where you can save places, filter by category, create itineraries and share trips simply.
Enter the destination with automatic geocoding and a photo.
See all the countries you’ve visited on the interactive globe.
Generate a read-only web link to let others discover your trip.
The app in action
Main features
View the countries you’ve visited on a globe that grows trip after trip.
Every destination has its image stored in the full history.
Invite anyone to add trips and photos directly from the app.
Share your globe in a browser with a public link, no account needed.
