Creating a new trip
You can use turas to add trips you’re planning to take or even trips you’ve already taken so you can share it with friends, family, or future travelers.
Click the Add button to open the dialog to create a new trip:
In the dialog, enter the starting place for your trip. This is the default place that shows in the map when you open your trip. You can change this later:

- Tokyo
- Tokyo, Japan
- Japan
- Big Sur
- Big Sur, California

You can rename your trip by clicking no the name at the top:
Click the Add day button to start adding days to your trip:
Each day is separated into 4 categories of places:

- Eat – where you’re interested in dining
- Stay – where you’re planning on staying like a hotel, hostel, Airbnb, campsite, and so on.
- Transit – waypoints where you are going to transit like a parking area, an airport, a train station, and so on.
