A Wanderlog alternative that plans the trip for you
Wanderlog is a very good place to organize a trip, and it can fill in a day or reorder your stops for you. TripBaddie builds the whole trip at once: every day timed and grouped by neighborhood, with costs, entry rules and a packing list done, then lets you edit it and book it yourself.

What Wanderlog is good at
Wanderlog is one of the best trip organizers out there. Real-time group editing, a clean map view, travel times between places, budgets and expense splitting are all free, and you can forward confirmation emails to pull your reservations in. If you already know your plan and want somewhere solid to keep it, it does that job very well.
