Your Sojourn is more than a travel planning app. We believe human connection matters and our goal is to make it as easy as possible for friends to connect and share real experiences. *Sojourns – Easily create and manage sojourns (trips) for any occasion. Track details such as dates, location, attendees, accommodations, logistics, and itinerary activities in one location. *Open Sojourns – Know what you want to do and when, but don’t have anyone to go with? Have an extra spot in the car for a friend to join an epic road trip? Create an open sojourn and allow any of your friends to join. You’ll also be able to see and join your friends’ open sojourns. *Friends in Town – Stop texting “I wish I would have known you were in town!”. Your Sojourn lets you know when you’ll be in the same place as your friends. Your Sojourn does not track your geolocation but will let you know if you or a friend are planning to be within 50 miles of each other based on your home locations and travel plans. If you plan a private sojourn, only your invitees and attendees will be able to see your upcoming sojourn. *Bucket List – We all have dream destinations, but they often remain dreams for too long. All you need is an idea to save it to your bucket list and make it available to your friends. Once you have dates, a location, and invite friends, convert it from a Bucket List Sojourn to an Upcoming Sojourn and cross it off your bucket list. *Friends' Bucket List – Get inspired by your friends’ public bucket list sojourns and and plan an unforgettable adventure. *Discover – Your daily inspiration for adventure and turning ideas into memories. It consists of curated sojourns, popular destinations, and trending events to generate the spark for you to connect with your favorite people in person. *Itinerary – Ditch the spreadsheet and stop scrolling endlessly through your texts. The itinerary feature makes it easy to collaborate with friends when planning your next sojourn. Manage all your activities in one place and keep things organized. Add dates, times, type, and any other additional details you and your group need, or use custom polls to vote on what the group should do. *Events - Discover concerts, sports, shows, and more happening during your sojourn. Browse by category or search by team, artist, or venue, then add any event straight to your sojourn's itinerary or share it in the group chat. *Things To Do – We take the hassle out of the planning process. This is your guide to easily find the best places to eat, drink, stay, and play (select locations). Add these places from the map or Things To Do list directly to your itinerary to keep everyone in the loop.
