Keep them posted

Pass it on 🔗

Sharing is now built right into trips, experiences, and member profiles. You'll find a share button sitting above the reaction section on any trip or experience detail page, and on member profiles too.

Tap it and you get three options: send straight to WhatsApp, copy a link, or use your phone's native share sheet whatever's fastest for you.

If you've written a travel experience or posted a trip and wanted to share it with someone outside the site, this is exactly what you were waiting for.

Stay in the loop 🔔

Planning to visit a destination and want to know when others post trips there? You can now subscribe to trip notifications without even being logged in.

On any destination page or directly on the trips listing look for the subscribe widget. Pick the scope you care about (a whole country, a region, or just a city), confirm your email, and you're set. When new trips get posted in that area, you'll hear about it.

Write without the worry ✍️

If you've ever started writing a travel experience and then accidentally navigated away or worried about losing a long draft this one's for you.

The experience editor now auto-saves your draft every 1.5 seconds. A quiet "saved" indicator in the corner confirms your words are safe. And if you do try to leave, you'll get a prompt first so nothing disappears without warning.

Your stories, in one place

There's now a dedicated My Experiences page where you can see everything you've submitted, with a clear colour-coded status badge on each card Draft, Pending, Approved, or Rejected.

No more guessing where a submission stands. Head to your dashboard and it's all there.

That's what's new. Go share a trip, subscribe to a destination you're dreaming about, or finally finish that travel story you started. 🌐
