Ever asked a friend if they've been somewhere you're dreaming of going? Save trip ideas in five different places and can never find them again? Lore was built for you. Every great trip starts where someone else's ended. Lore is built on recommendations you trust, because every trip starts with a recommendation from someone who has been there. Follow the travelers you trust, explore recommended cities based on your interests, and browse itineraries from real people so you can save their best finds and plan your own trip smarter. When it's time to build, plan and collaborate with friends on a structured, editable, day-by-day itinerary that keeps every flight, stay, and reservation in one place. And when you want a hand, Trippy helps you build it out, day by day — just drop in photos, screenshots, or booking confirmations and it pulls the details in automatically. After the trip, keep the lore going. Rank every experience, leave notes for future travelers, and publish your journey to fuel someone else's next adventure. The more the community shares, the smarter everyone's next trip becomes. Join the community and get access to every itinerary travelers have shared. You get free Trippy messages on every trip you plan — no subscription, no credit card required. Free to join. Start planning today. Discover the destination. Build the itinerary. Live the lore. Share the journey.
