Where have I been? Make your map

Reconstruct your travel history from familiar memories

It is surprisingly easy to forget a short trip from years ago. Begin with the places where you lived, then think through family holidays, work trips, study, and visits to friends. Old calendars, photo albums, and tickets can help you remember. This tool does not read those sources automatically; you decide which places to mark and what counts as a visit.

Use the searchable checklist to add a place you remember, or click its outline on the map. Choose Visited for a past trip and Lived for a former home. Both add one to the visited total. Want to go belongs to future travel and stays outside that number. If you add a place by mistake, return it to Not visited. You can build the picture gradually instead of completing your whole history in one session.

A clear picture, with a disclosed counting rule

The world view uses 241 country and territory entries from Natural Earth and excludes Antarctica. Dependencies and separately mapped territories are included, so this is a different checklist from a conventional 195-country counter. Its percentage represents selected entries, not the amount of the world you have explored. A short visit and many years of residence each count once, with their different statuses preserved in the legend.

At world scale, some islands and neighboring countries are difficult to click. Search the list for a precise selection. Boundaries are simplified for a small download and a readable travel picture; they are not a navigation aid or legal reference. When one country contains many of your memories, use a regional map for its states, provinces, or prefectures rather than expecting the world view to show every city.

Turn a reconstructed history into something you can keep

Your current browser remembers the selections automatically. Once you have filled in a useful part of your history, create a share link and keep it with your notes. The link carries a snapshot of the statuses at that time and restores them when opened on another device. Anyone holding the link can view that same set of selections, so keep it private if the travel pattern feels personal.

A PNG download gives you a visual answer to the question 'where have I been?' with a map, count, legend, and MapMoment watermark. The picture is easy to save or send, but it cannot rebuild the editable checklist by itself. Keep the link alongside it, and generate a new link when you remember another trip. For ongoing updates after every journey, the travel tracker page describes a simple maintenance habit.
