01 · Your map
Every country, marked your way.
Tap a country and mark it lived, stayed, or layover only. Your total counts the first two and keeps layovers apart.
02 · Your lists
The other things you collect.
Airports, cities, bridges, labyrinths, ports, parks, UNESCO sites and marathons, each with the year you were there.
03 · Your pets
A passport for the dog, too.
Add a pet as a traveler and they get their own stamps and their own Paw Passport page.
04 · Your page
A profile with your byline on it.
Your stories, your links and the places you know well, gathered on one public page you can switch on or off.
05 · Your year
Layover Wrapped, when the year runs out.
A short recap of where you went, which you can share or keep to yourself.

For every travel companion

Your bestie gets a passport too.

Dog, cat, ferret, one extremely well-traveled parrot. If they crossed a border with you, they get a page, a stamp collection, and a byline in your stories.

Often confused with a polar bear, seal, or teddy bear. 100% Samoyed.

The Paw Passport is for traveling with your bestie, whatever the species. Every pet gets a page: where they went, what they rated, which airlines lost their dignity. Magnus was simply first.
