A Been Alternative When a Country Counter Is Not Enough

Been is simple: mark countries visited. TravelTracker.me goes further: track places, preserve photos and journals, build stats, and keep a private record of the trips behind the map.

Quick verdict

Choose TravelTracker.me if you want Travelers who want a country tracker plus actual travel memories, journals, and photo organization.

Choose Been if you want Travelers who only want a lightweight countries-visited map.

A map of countries is satisfying. It is also thin. TravelTracker.me gives you the map, then lets you attach the trips, stories, photos, and milestones that made those countries matter.

Where Been may fall short

  • Focused mainly on countries and map coloring.
  • Limited depth for journals, photos, and trip storytelling.
  • Not designed as a full travel memory archive.

Why TravelTracker.me fits privacy-first travelers

  • Track countries alongside cities, parks, UNESCO sites, and custom trip memories.
  • Attach journal entries and photos to the places you visited.
  • Build a richer travel legacy than a colored-in map.

No third-party tracking, no ad pixels, and no data selling.

Maps and stats
