The Atlas

Pick the world in the order you will fly it.

Tap to add a region, then move it up or down. The ribbon on the chart is your route; the readout underneath is what it costs you in days and kilometres.

Regions

Prices are the realistic all-in day rate on the ground — beds, food, local transport, entries.

Your route

21 days each

Under 14 days a region you are sightseeing. Over 45 you are living there — and visas start to bite.

The Ledger

The real number, not the Instagram number.

Ground costs, the flights between your legs, and the five line items every world-tour budget quietly leaves out.

Flights

Flights are priced per one-way hop at roughly 4.5 cents a kilometre plus a fixed carrier cost. Book them a leg at a time — a round-the-world ticket locks a route you will want to change by month three.

What people leave out

    The Runway

    Your departure date is a division problem.

    What you have saved, what you add each month, what the route costs. That is the whole equation.

    A world tour is a weather problem in disguise.

    Green is the window. Hatched gold is monsoon, hurricane season or heat you will regret. The outlined cell is where your current route puts you.

    Borders

    Your passport decides the order of the route.

    Some visas must be applied for from a specific country, weeks ahead. Knowing that before you buy flights is the difference between a route and a rescue mission.

    Indicative only, and it changes without notice. Confirm every entry with the embassy or the official portal before booking.

    Rules that save trips

    • Six months of passport validity beyond every arrival date, and four blank pages.
    • Airlines refuse boarding over onward-travel proof more often than borders do. Hold a cheap refundable onward ticket.
    • Photograph passport, visas, insurance and vaccination card. Keep them offline and in a shared drive.
    • Two cards on two networks, in two bags. One card in one bag is how a trip ends early.
    • Apply for slow visas from a country with a working embassy and cheap beds. That is a routing decision, not paperwork.
    The Kit

    One bag, built from the climates you actually cross.

    Generated from your route. Cross the Andes and it adds a layer; stay tropical and it takes one away.

      Route Muse

      Describe the trip in your head. Get it back as a route.

      Write it the way you would say it out loud. The Muse turns it into regions, an order and a start month, then drops it on the Atlas.
