You don't forget the people. You forget how you know them.
Wander Pals keeps the people you meet while travelling — your story, your photos, their spot on the map. So an Instagram handle turns into a memory.
Free. Set up in two minutes.

How we met
Hostel rooftop, talked about everything until four.
Sound familiar?
The contact stays. The story behind it does not.
You talk half the night away, share a taxi, eat your way through the night market together.
You swap Instagram or numbers as you say goodbye. Then you both move on.
Two months later there is a name in your list — and no idea where it came from.
What you lose is not the contact. What you lose is why it mattered.
The idea
A friendbook like the old ones — except it travels with you.
We used to write in each other's yearbooks: favourite colour, nickname, a line to be remembered by. Wander Pals is that, for the road. Except the other person fills it in themselves, on their own phone, in two minutes.
Memories do not belong in a contact list.
«Travelling, I met an incredible number of wonderful people. Swapped Instagram, swapped WhatsApp — and two months later I could not even remember how I knew some of them. I wanted to change that: a digital friendbook that holds the stories and the pictures you made together. So the memory does not fade.»

How it works
Three steps, nothing to download
The other person needs no app and no account. A link is enough.
Create an invite
A link and a QR code, named after wherever you happen to be. You decide which questions get asked.
Hold it up instead of typing
Show the QR code or send the link. They fill it in themselves — name, story, photos, contact.
Your world fills up
Every entry lands in your book and as a pin on your globe. Countries where you know someone light up.
What goes in
More than a name and a number
You choose per invite what gets asked — from three quick fields to the full questionnaire.
Your story
How you met, where and when. The field that saves you two months later.
Photos of you two
A portrait and up to three shared pictures. The evening, the beach, the crooked selfie.
The personal bits
Favourite song, dream destination, mountains or sea, star sign, hobbies.
Contact and birthday
Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, email — plus a birthday list that reminds you in time.
Your world
The goal: connected all the way around the globe.
Everyone who signs your book becomes a pin. Every country where you know someone fills in. A list of names slowly turns into a world map of your life on the road.

People in the book
One day you will know someone on every continent — and your globe shows you how far along you are.
Plus statistics nobody needs explained: how many countries you know someone in, who lives furthest away, which month you met the most people.
