# Travel Statistics and Insights

> See how many days you've spent away, how far you've traveled, and which places you keep going back to. Your Exploration Score sums up how you travel and gives you a traveler type.

* Total trips, places visited, and days traveled
* Distance traveled, compared with distances you know
* Exploration Score with your traveler type, plus new versus return visits
* Travel patterns: favorite months, busiest years, most visited places

Your profile turns your trips into statistics about how you travel. They count the trips you've taken and the one you're on, and a planned trip joins them once it begins.

## See How Far You've Gone

Your distance adds up the straight lines between your trips, and a card compares the total with a distance you know, such as crossing the US or the way to the Moon. A second card counts how many times that distance would take you around the Earth. [Turning Trips into Insightful Distance Statistics](https://lugara.me/log/calculating-travel-distances) explains the math behind it.

## Find Your Traveler Type

The Exploration Score rates how you explore from 0 to 10. It combines how many countries and continents you've seen, how often you go somewhere new, how many climates you reach, and how much your trip lengths vary. Your strongest side gives you one of twelve traveler types, such as Globe Trotter, Trailblazer, or Climate Chaser.

Next to the score, the Destination Novelty card splits your trips into new destinations and return visits. Both appear once you've taken six trips, and [Rebuilding the Exploration Score](https://lugara.me/log/exploration-score) covers each part of the score.

## Spot Your Travel Patterns

A chart shows your trips, places, or distance by month or by year. Smaller cards name your favorite month to travel, your busiest year, your longest trip, your longest break between trips, and the country and city you visit most. The Transport Modes card shows the trips and the distance for each way you travel, and the Exploration Wheel shows how your trips spread across continents, climates, and trip lengths.

Your list of places sorts every city by the time you spent there, by your number of visits, or by when you were last there.

Every statistic is free. See them with a real travel history on [@meretzaugg](https://lugara.me/@meretzaugg), or [start recording your own travels](https://lugara.me/auth/signup).
