Travel logbook

Spin it into a story.

Whirlo turns the photos or itinerary you already have into a travel diary - keep it, sell it, or bind it into a book.

The loop, in 20 seconds
Real numbers, not staged.
How it works

Log it. Publish it. Someone else unlocks or gets it as a gift.

01 Log

However you've got it: read straight off your photos, or typed up after the fact. You edit the draft before any of it saves.

02 Publish

Turn any trip into a route. Set your own price, or leave it free - Whirlo takes a flat 5%, you keep the rest.

03 Unlock

Buyers browse the shape for free; costs, timings, and addresses unlock on purchase. Or skip the price entirely and gift a route outright.

Questions

Before you ask.

How does Whirlo know what's in my photos?

It reads the date and place straight off each photo's own EXIF data, then guesses a name for what's in it. You edit the draft before any of it saves - nothing is ever assumed permanent.

What's the difference between a trip and a route?

A trip is your own private log. A route is that same trip published for others to browse and unlock - the shape is free to see, the full detail (costs, timings, exact stops) unlocks on purchase.

Can I see someone else's full trip before buying anything?

You can see the shape - place names, dates, day count - for free. Notes, costs, timings, and the full photo set only show once the owner publishes it as a route and you unlock it, or if you're the owner yourself.

What do I actually get when I unlock a route?

The full itinerary, cloned into your own account as an editable trip - every stop, cost, and timing the creator logged, ready to follow or change as your own.

How much does publishing a route cost?

Whirlo takes a flat 5% of every sale - you keep 95%, or 75% if your route was cloned from someone else's (the other 20% is their royalty, not Whirlo's). Pro (£29/yr) is separate - it adds unlimited trips and routes plus up to £40/yr of included unlocks.

Is my trip private by default?

Yes. Every trip starts private. It only becomes visible to anyone else once you choose to make it public or publish it as a route.
