A wishlist that outlives the trip

Why travel wishlists should belong to your life, not to one trip, and how to build one you'll actually use.

Most travel apps put the wishlist inside a trip. That works if you already know where you’re going. It fails for the places you want to see someday.

The someday problem

The places you most want to see often sit in screenshots, saved posts, and browser tabs for years. By the time you have the dates, you’ve lost half of them.

A wishlist for your life

In Wendways, the wishlist lives above any single trip. Add a place from a Google Maps or Apple Maps link, a note, or a search. It stays there until you’re ready.

From want to plan

When you start planning, your wishlist is the first thing you see. Pull places straight into a new trip. On paid plans, the trip proposer can suggest a draft trip built from your wishlist and your travel history.

Start small

Add three places you’ve wanted to see for more than five years. That’s your wishlist.

How a wishlist becomes a plan is on the trip planning page.
