What carries over

  • Your stops, with their own names and dates
  • Your journals, word for word
  • Your photos, placed at the right stops
  • Your videos, with their best frame chosen for the printed page

Polarsteps is a great travel tracker, and this page is not trying to talk you out of it — Afterglow is not a replacement for tracking a trip live. It's where a trip goes once you're home and ready to turn it into a book.
