Travel isn’t just about the places you visit — it’s about the moments you collect along the way.
The food you tasted.
The streets you walked.
The unexpected surprises.
The people you met.
The feelings you had.
But let’s be honest: most travelers forget half of their experiences a few weeks after coming home.
That’s why we built the ToTourist Journal — a simple, beautiful, and smart way to save your memories so they last forever.
This guide shows you how to use the Journal to capture your trips with ease and turn every journey into a personalized travel story.
✨ Why a Travel Journal Matters
Travel memories fade fast.
After a few trips, everything blends together — the cafés, the viewpoints, even the names of the cities.
With the ToTourist Journal, you can:
- 📸 save moments instantly
- 🗺 attach visited places
- 📝 write personal notes
- ⭐ add ratings
- 🧭 save AI-generated summaries
- 🗃 organize entries into categories
- 📅 filter memories by date
- 🧳 build a lifetime travel archive
It’s your private travel diary — but smarter.
🧭 1. Saving a Place Directly From the Map
When you’re exploring a new city, the easiest way to store a memory is to save it on the spot.
Inside ToTourist:
- open MapView
- tap a place you visited
- press Save to Journal
The app automatically stores:
- the place name
- the location
- the date
- your notes (optional)
- your rating
- photos (if you add some)
Perfect for city walks, food spots, museums, beaches, or anything else worth remembering.
📝 2. Writing Personal Notes
Some trips deserve more than a location pin.
Tap Add Note and write whatever you want:
- what you experienced
- what made you smile
- funny moments
- something surprising
- a thought you want to remember
- your personal feelings about the day
This turns a simple travel log into a meaningful story you’ll love reading later.
Pro tip: even 2–3 sentences per day can create an amazing memory timeline.
⭐ 3. Add Ratings to Your Experiences
Every Journal entry can have a rating:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great
- ⭐⭐⭐ good
- ⭐⭐ average
- ⭐ bad
Later, when you plan new trips, you can filter your memories by rating and easily recall which restaurants, viewpoints, cities or activities were truly worth it.
🎙️ 4. Let AI Help You Capture the Moment
Sometimes you’re tired after a long day of exploring.
That’s when the built-in AI Memory Assistant becomes your best friend.
Just write a few bullet points like:
- “saw the Eiffel Tower”
- “great pasta in a small restaurant”
- “walked by the river at night”
…then tap Generate Entry.
The AI transforms your fragments into a polished, emotional memory entry — perfectly saved in your Journal.
It feels like having a personal travel writer in your pocket.
🗃 5. Organize Entries with Categories
The ToTourist Journal isn’t just a list — it’s a fully structured memory database.
You can categorize any entry into:
- 🌆 Cities
- 🍽 Food
- 🌄 Viewpoints
- 💬 Moments
- 🎟 Activities
- 🧳 Trips
- ⭐ Favorites
- …or your own custom categories
This makes your travel history easy to browse.
Looking for all your “best cafés” around the world?
Or your favorite beaches?
Or your most emotional moments?
Two taps — you find everything.
📅 6. Filter by Date to Revisit a Trip
Want to relive your trip to Rome from last summer?
Open the Journal → choose Filter by Date → pick the exact days.
You instantly see every saved memory, place, note, and photo from that trip.
It’s like scrolling through your own travel history book.
