[Learn more about Data stored in the European Union](https://lugara.me/features/data-privacy-in-the-european-union) ## Every Trip Adds Up Years of trips become a map full of places, travel statistics, and a wall of country flags.

You record trips, each a city with a start and end date. From them you get a map of the places you've been, a travel timeline, and statistics such as your countries, your distance traveled, and your time in each country. [How Lugara Works](https://lugara.me/docs/how-lugara-works) shows everything your profile holds. Check out [@meretzaugg](https://lugara.me/@meretzaugg) or [@hanaframes](https://lugara.me/@hanaframes) to see how this looks with sample trip histories. ### Does Lugara track my location? No. You add every trip yourself: as a sentence like "Mexico City from June 3 to 17", with the classic form, or by importing them. Nothing runs in the background to follow where you go. When you add a trip, Lugara can fill in the city you're in, from your IP address without storing it, or from your device's location once you allow it. [Add a Trip in One Sentence](https://lugara.me/docs/add-a-trip-in-one-sentence#start-from-where-you-are) explains both. ### Do I need to install an app? No. You use Lugara in the browser on mobile and desktop. To open it like an app, add it to your home screen, as [Install Lugara on Your Phone](https://lugara.me/docs/install-lugara-on-your-phone) shows for iPhone, iPad, and Android. ### Who can see my travel profile? Only you, until you make it public. A public profile is open to anyone with its address. [Make Your Profile Public](https://lugara.me/docs/make-your-profile-public) shows what visitors see. We're working on a way to share it with only the people you choose. If you'd like to use it, get in touch via [email](mailto:hello@lugara.me) or [on X](https://x.com/getlugara)! ### Can I import my past travel history? Yes. Add past trips by hand, import a NomadList export or a Lugara backup, or keep syncing new trips from NomadList. [Import Your Travel History](https://lugara.me/docs/import-your-travel-history) and [Sync with NomadList](https://lugara.me/docs/sync-with-nomadlist) show how. We're working on importing your Google Timeline. If you'd like to help test it, or would like another import source, let us know via [email](mailto:hello@lugara.me) or [on X](https://x.com/getlugara)! ### Can I track my tax residency days? Yes. A section at the end of your profile counts your days in each country for every calendar year and marks the countries where you reached 180 days or more. Only you see it, even on a public profile, and it appears once your trips come close to that mark. [Tax Residency Days](https://lugara.me/docs/tax-residency-days) explains how the days count. These numbers aren't tax advice, so always check your situation with a tax professional. ### Is Lugara free? Partially. All core features are free, and free accounts hold up to 10 trips. Upgrade to Lugara Pro within the app, monthly, yearly, or for a lifetime, for unlimited trips, to support ongoing development, and for general good karma. [How Lugara Works](https://lugara.me/docs/how-lugara-works#lugara-pro-removes-the-trip-limit) lists what else Pro adds. ### What happens to my trips if I cancel Lugara Pro? They all stay. Pro keeps working until the end of the period you paid for, and after that you keep: - Every trip, to view, edit, and delete - The map, statistics, collections, and tax residency, from all your trips - Your public profile with all your trips - The Lugara JSON export of all your data These stop until you resubscribe: - Adding or importing trips past the free limit of 10 - Syncing with GitHub and NomadList - Exporting to CSV, Excel, KML, and GeoJSON - Showing your globe style on your profile Your sync settings and globe style stay too, so both come back when you resubscribe. ### How private is my data? We store only what your account and trips need, securely in the European Union under the GDPR. We don't use third-party trackers, advertising cookies, or behavioral analytics, and we never sell your data. Your trips are private by default. If you stop using Lugara, they stay stored and private, so you can come back anytime without losing anything. You can export your data or delete your account with all its data at any time. [Export Your Trips](https://lugara.me/docs/export-your-trips) covers the exports, and our easily-digestible [privacy policy](https://lugara.me/privacy) has the details. ### Can I export my trips? Yes. A JSON backup holds your trips and profile details and restores them into Lugara. With Lugara Pro, you can also export CSV and Excel for spreadsheets, and GeoJSON and KML for mapping apps such as Google Earth. Your trips are also available as JSON at your profile's address with `.json` added, for your own tools, dashboards, or backups. While your profile is private, that address needs your personal API key. [Export Your Trips](https://lugara.me/docs/export-your-trips) describes each format and shows where to find the address. ## Latest Log Posts - [Lugara Product Brief #3](https://lugara.me/log/product-brief-03) (2026-10-14): A rebuilt Exploration Score, a bio and links on your profile, a new lugara.me, and styles for your globe. - [Pick a Style for Your Globe](https://lugara.me/log/globe-styles) (2026-10-06): The globe on your profile now comes in multiple styles to choose from. - [Rebuilding the Exploration Score](https://lugara.me/log/exploration-score) (2026-10-01): The Exploration Score now looks at four parts of how you travel, gives you a traveler type, and no longer drops when you go somewhere new.
