What your travel journal at Vakantio can do

Everything a travel journal needs — and more than a notebook ever could.

Interactive travel map

Each entry is assigned a location. This automatically creates a map of your trip, which family and friends can follow.

Photos and videos

Upload your travel photos directly from your phone. They will be automatically optimized and assigned to your journal entry.

Private, for family and friends

You decide for each diary entry who is allowed to read it: only invited people — or everyone.

Works on any device

Vakantio runs in your browser: mobile phone, tablet or laptop. No app store, no updates, no storage space problems.

Can be found forever

Your entries remain chronological and sorted by trip. Even years later, you can find every day of your trip again.

Writing together

Invite fellow travelers to be co-authors and compile your travel journal together — everyone writes from their own perspective.
