Now down to cities: mark the towns you actually stayed in, not just the countries you crossed — and let photo import find them for you.
Was Here is your personal travel map: keep track of every country you have visited and scratch each one off with a satisfying gold-foil reveal. Like the scratch-off world map on your wall — but smarter, always in your pocket, and free.
SCRATCH OFF THE WORLD
Mark a country as visited, then scratch it off to reveal it on your map. Watching the gold foil peel away is the most satisfying way to log your travels — one scratch for every stamp in your passport.
YOUR TRAVEL MAP & PASSPORT
See all the places you have been on a beautiful world map, then open your travel passport: how many countries you have visited, which continents you have covered, and how much of the world is still waiting.
BEYOND COUNTRIES: REGIONS & CITIES
A country is a blunt measure. Zoom in and mark the states, provinces and prefectures you actually set foot in — then the cities themselves, from the capital you landed in to the town you slept in. Your map tells the truth at every level, and photo import fills in regions and cities too.
A TRAVEL TRACKER THAT STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY
- Track visited countries — all 250 countries and territories
- Add the years you visited and keep private notes for every place
- Count your progress by UN countries or the full list, your choice
- Fast search in any language
- Go deeper than borders: states, provinces and 64,000 cities
