A travel wishlist map of the countries you want to visit

1. 1

   Mark where you want to go

   Tap any country on the map and add it to your wishlist from its card, or switch the Countries list to "Want to go" and tick as many as you like.

2. 2

   See your wishlist on the map

   Wishlist countries show in pink on your world map and with a heart on the flags view, so you can see where you have been and where you want to go together.

3. 3

   Plan a trip

   Pick a wishlist country and roughly when, say Japan in April, and TripStow starts a trip for it, ready for the booking emails.

4. 4

   Go, and watch it move

   Forward your bookings and the trip fills itself in. Once you have been, the country comes off your wishlist and onto your map.

Sign up to TripStow free and open your map. Tap a country and add it to your wishlist, or use "Want to go" on the Countries list to mark several at once. Each one turns pink on the map straight away.

Countries you have already visited cannot be added, so the wishlist is always the places still to go.

Your wishlist is a starting point for real trips. Choose a country and a rough month, and TripStow makes a trip such as "Japan in April". When you forward the flight and hotel confirmations, they file themselves into it, in local time.

After the trip, the country is counted as visited and comes off your wishlist automatically.

Only you, unless you switch on a public profile. If your profile is public, your wishlist countries are shown on it with your map. Future trips are never public, so a planned trip stays private either way.

Your wishlist lives on the same map as your scratch-off countries, with a switch for the flags view, US states and Canada.

What is a travel bucket list map?

A travel bucket list map is a world map that marks the countries you want to visit. In TripStow they show in pink on the same map as the countries you have been to, so you can see both at a glance.

How do I add a country to my travel wishlist?

Tap the country on your TripStow map and add it from its card, or switch the Countries list to "Want to go" and tick it. It is saved at once.

What happens to a wishlist country after I visit it?

It comes off your wishlist automatically once a past trip shows you have been, and it is counted as visited on your map instead.

Can I turn my wishlist into a trip?

Yes. Pick a wishlist country and roughly when you want to go, and TripStow starts a trip such as "Japan in April". Forward the booking emails and the trip fills itself in.

Is my travel wishlist public?

Only if your profile is. Your wishlist is private unless you switch on a public profile, and then it shows on your profile's map.

Is the travel wishlist free?

Yes. The wishlist, the pink countries on your map and planning a trip from it are all on TripStow's free plan.
