Wanderlog is building tools to make leisure travel easier and lower the bar to it. Our product so far is a Google Docs for planning travel and sharing recommendations. We are building tools that lower the bar to it. Our core product, built starting 2019, is a travel planning app (we’re the top-ranked trip planner on iOS and Android), but we’re also helping travelers book hotels (without hidden fees), providing them with information (through various pages on e.g., best attractions, restaurants, etc.), and more.
