Where the travel went
Bubble size reflects deduped trips to that destination. The main view is U.S.-focused because most trips were domestic, with international travel summarized in the inset.

Personal and professional travel diary
Years on the road
This public-friendly diary consolidates memory, calendar entries, loyalty-program history, TripIt, airline, hotel, and travel-tool reporting into one deduped view. It is intentionally approximate: the current dataset likely captures about 80% of the travel that can eventually be reconstructed.

Specific cities are grouped to U.S. states or countries so repeated Japan destinations, Virginia cities, and other clusters read more clearly.

Personal and country highlights
Vacation records are kept separate from the work totals. Clear date overlaps are flagged in the review view rather than double-counted.
Estimated financial and carbon footprint
This is a directional reconstruction, not an expense report. Professional domestic trips are modeled at roughly $3,000-$5,000 each, with international trips substantially higher.
A reasonable uncertainty band is +/-30% because airfare, hotel rates, conferences, cruises, theme-park tickets, carbon methodology, and family party size vary widely.
How to make a travel diary like this
Find clues
Look across social media posts, photos, memory, family calendars, work calendars, and old itinerary emails.
Pull records
Use travel history, airline accounts, hotel accounts, TripIt, expense tools, bank accounts, and credit-card bills.
Normalize and dedupe
Convert each clue to dates, place, category, source, and confidence; collapse overlapping records into one trip.
Publish carefully
Generalize customer, employer, family, and financial details; share patterns and estimates, not raw private records.
Starter prompt
Build a public-friendly personal and professional travel diary from these travel records. Deduplicate overlapping trips, separate vacation from non-vacation travel, group top destinations by U.S. state and country, estimate travel days, mileage, rough cost, and carbon footprint, and include a simple methodology. Keep private customer, employer, family, and financial details generalized.
