About AdventureLog AdventureLog is a self-hosted, open-source travel companion for logging locations, planning trips, and tracking your world travel on an interactive map.

About AdventureLog

Everything travel, united in one place — log where you've been, plan what's ahead, and see your whole travel story on one map.

Self-hosted Open source GPL-3.0 Docker-ready

AdventureLog is a modern travel companion you run yourself. Track locations and visits, build trip itineraries, mark countries and regions on a world map, and share plans with the people you travel with — without handing your memories to a closed platform.

Core features

Log locations & visits

More than a pin on a map — dates, notes, photos, categories, trails, and visit history.

Plan trips & itineraries

Multi-day collections with flights, lodging, checklists, calendar views, and shared planning.

Track your world travel

Countries, regions, and cities on an interactive map — stats, milestones, and history.
