Unfortunately, not all images are created equally, so if the location data wasn’t captured or has been stripped from the image (this can happen when your location services are turned off or if you share images via WhatApp, for example) then we might not be able to create a trip, but well be in touch if that happens. See below to fix this.

We will create your trip and add in details such as where you stayed and where you ate. We’ll send the trip back to you so you can add your comments and star ratings. You don’t need to add comments and ratings for everything, but the more details you add now, the more you’ll have saved for the future and the better your recommendations are for others.

Your trip is then ready to share with friends when they need recommendations!
