The Surprisingly Satisfying Travel Tracker

I’ve got a secret that very few people know about. And I’m going to share it with you…

I’m a die-hard map geek.

It all started many moons ago when I was 4 years old. My father gifted me an enormous, heavy world atlas. It was a giant musty book almost 3 feet tall and an inch thick. Unsurprisingly, my father was a high school geography teacher.

I turned the sacred pages carefully, amazed at the detail and breadth of our world. Carefully inspecting the network of roads that connected cities in Latvia. Studying the topographic contours of Brazil. I would daydream about what life would be like in far-flung countries I could barely pronounce.

A travel dream was born.
