Some trips start with a flight. Others with inspiration. Every trip you have taken is already in your camera roll. Porta finds it. Scan your photos and Porta groups them into trips, matches them to the real places you went, and turns each one into a trip card: the cities, the days, the photos, and the people who came with you. Every photo finds its place, and your world map fills in as you go. EVERY TRIP HAS A HOME Every trip on your profile keeps the spots you actually went, found from your photos and pinned on your map, plus the people who were there. What was a scroll of photos is now a trip with a place of its own. And when someone finds it and starts their own trip from it, it gets another life. MADE FOR THE PLANNER. EASY FOR EVERYONE ELSE. Start a board and invite your friends. Put the stays, flights and activities in one plan, vote when you cannot agree, mark what is booked, and see what everyone owes. The planner gets the tools. Everyone else just shows up. WHERE TO NEXT? JUST ASK. Tell Porta where you are thinking of going and it helps you shape the trip, day by day. NEVER WONDER WHERE THEY WENT Seen a post and thought "where is that?" Explore real trips from real travelers, with the actual places tagged, and save the ones you want to take yourself. - Turn your photos into trips automatically - Real places, matched from where your photos were taken - Shared boards for group planning, with voting and costs - A world map of everywhere you have been - Explore trips from other travelers - Message friends and plan together Porta is free.
