Introducing the Travel Résumé

You've put in the work. Dozens of countries, a pile of national parks, more miles than you can count, trips you still think about years later. And when someone asks "so where have you actually been?", the best you can do is open your camera roll and start scrolling.

That's a bad answer to a great question.

So we built Travel Résumé: a single, beautiful page that sums up your travel life and lives at a link you can hand to anyone. Drop it in a text, put it in your Instagram bio, send it to the friend who doesn't believe you've been to 40 countries. It's the cleanest way to show where you've been. And because this is TravelTracker.me, it does all of that without quietly turning your travel history into a social feed.

What's on it

Your Travel Résumé is built from the travels you've already logged. Nothing new to fill out. The page can show:

Countries Visited: the count, plus a gallery of flags
Travel Map: an interactive map of everywhere you've been
Total Miles Traveled: the big number, front and center
States / Regions Visited
Total Trips
National Parks Visited
UNESCO Sites Visited
Extreme Points
Badges Earned: the achievements you've unlocked, with their tiers

It lives at a URL you choose, something like traveltracker.me/traveler/your-name with your display name, your avatar, and the flags of every country you've set foot in.

Private by default. Always.

Here's the part most "profile" features get backwards. A lot of travel apps bolt on a public profile and flip it on for everyone, then make you go hunting through settings to turn it off. The default is exposure. We did the opposite.

Your Travel Résumé is off until you decide otherwise. There's a single switch called "Make My Travel Profile Public", and until you flip it, your page simply doesn't exist. Anyone guessing at your URL gets a plain 404, the same as if you'd never had an account.

When you do turn it on, you're still in control of everything:

Pick your own URL Choose a custom slug, with live availability checking as you type.
Choose a display name Separate from your email and your email never appears on the page.
Toggle every section Don't want your mileage public? Turn it off. Want just the map and the flag wall? Done.
Hide from search engines On by default. Your page stays shareable by link, but it won't get indexed by Google unless you choose to let it.

Turn the switch back off and the page is gone again. No "archived," no "deactivated but still reachable." Gone.

What it never shows

This matters as much as what it does show.

Your Travel Résumé is built from a strict allowlist meaning the page can only ever display the handful of stats above. It physically cannot leak the things that should stay private:

No GPS coordinates We don't track your location to begin with, and the resume never shows where any trip happened beyond the country level.
No trip details Your dates, your journal entries, your photos, your cities — none of it crosses over.
No email, no account ID, no billing info
No exact signup date Your "Traveler since" line shows the month and year only. Not the day, not the hour.

Even the badge you're most proud of only shows up if you flip its section on. The page shares exactly what you choose and nothing past it.

Built to be shared

A travel page nobody can see is just a settings screen, so we made sharing feel good. When your profile is public, every link you share automatically generates a clean preview card, the kind that unfurls in iMessage, Twitter, and anywhere else with your name, your avatar, and your headline stats on a sharp dark background. No broken thumbnails, no generic placeholder. Just a card that looks like you actually meant to send it.

You can copy your link, open a live preview, or hit the native share sheet on your phone, all from the settings page.

It's free

No upsell here. The Travel Résumé is available to everyone with a TravelTracker.me account, on every platform web, iOS, iPadOS, Android, even the TV app feeds the same numbers. Log your travels, flip the switch, share the link.

Why we built it this way

The easy version of this feature is a public-by-default social profile with an engagement loop bolted on. That's not what we wanted to ship.

The Travel Résumé is the opposite bet: a page that's genuinely yours, that shows only what you decide, that you can take down in one click, and that never becomes a backdoor for the data we promised to never collect in the first place. You get the satisfying part: the map filling in, the flag wall, the big mileage number worth bragging about without signing your travel history over to anyone.
