Some Features of Globe-Getter ⤵

Set and track a travel goal

Set your goal by specifying how many countries you'd like to visit over a specific period of time and feel free to add specific countries. Globe-Getter will give you visual data to let you know continents and languages associated with those destinations as well as let you know how frequently you should be traveling to stay on target with your goal.

Add destintions to your goal

With Globe-Getter, you can add countries to three different categories, which all help you keep track of your travel goal:

• countries you've visited
• countries you'd like to visit
• countries that are high priority (you're dying to visit those!)

Add these on the destinations page:

The star represents priority countries, checkmark is visited countries, and plus sign is countries you wish to add.

See them reflected on your dashboard
