I will be there! I think you know my experience but have been using Wanderlog since 2022, and use it more and more extensively with each trip.

I'll try to join, Should be enroute north from Seattle to Vancouver.

I’ll try to join but we will be in Romania.

I am hoping to attend. I just tried to use Wanderlog for the 3rd time and it just feels so clunky and tedious to me, I must be doing something wrong.

I'd love to attend. I use Wanderlog extensively to plan and even more to keep track of schedules while traveling. Happy to share and to learn!

I’d like to join this one.

Hopefully I can make it to this one! Thanks for doing this!

I won’t be able to join you as we will be on a Disney cruise with our daughters and their families.

I downloaded Wanderlog but while reading about how to navigate they mention a Gmail account. Presently I do not have a Gmail account and really don’t want to open a New e-mail.
Then I remembered you mentioned that you have a seperate account just for travel. I’ve been thinking on that and realized that is genius. So, that will be my next project, it is a small one, but a project just the same. Thank you for the idea.

I will then Circle back to Wanderlog and try it again.

I did not know that Wanderlog requires a Gmail account. Interesting. Yes, after a couple of cases of European hotel spam filters not recognizing my old timey email suffixes, a Gmail for travel was the easy solution. It makes it easier to focus while I'm traveling.... fewer distractions from non travel emails!

That reminds me of the "you know you're a travel addict when...." thread. Hah, when you have a separate email for travel!!

Enjoy the Disney travel cruise!!

It may be time for the new email for travel. Ha! I do have a folder for each trip and would still do that. Hmmmm.

I am putting August 22 on my calendar - it should work unless an unexpected conflict arises. Thanks!

I have a non- Gmail log in for Wanderlog. I wonder if it is just Google that is pushing the use of 'log in with Google' options?
I have used Wanderlog for 2 years and have several trips on it. I am happy to share what I have, but Interested in how others use it.
Catherine, please add me to this session. Thanks.

Wanderlog does not require a gmail account, and Google is not in any way pushing the "log in with Google" option. Many apps and websites offer that option (as well as logging in with AppleID or Facebook) as a convenience.

When you go to Wanderlog.com and sign up, you have three options: Facebook, Google, or email address and password.
