Polarsteps has crossed a new frontier: 20 million trips recorded by its growing community of travelers, who use the app to plan, capture, and relive their adventures.

“It’s amazing to know 20 million travelers want us with them on their journeys,”
says Clare Jones, CEO of Polarsteps. “Our growth in the past 12 months has been huge, and we’ve loved seeing users fall in love with our planning features as well as using Polarsteps to track their journeys.”

What began a decade ago in the Netherlands has grown into a truly global platform, with travelers from more than 180 countries and the fastest growth now coming from Germany, France, and the US.

A reflection of how the world explores

As Polarsteps grows, it’s creating a shared map of how people travel. The app has become a hub of travel inspiration, filled with road trips, wilderness escapes, and long-haul travels that show how millions of people actually explore the world.

“Polarsteps isn’t about the filtered version of an adventure — because trips are shared with a tiny group of friends and family, people share the reality of their experiences, with the downs as well as the ups,” Clare adds. “With many people questioning the role of social media and AI ‘slop’ feeds, Polarsteps is a place for authentic sharing with a small group, not for performing or influencing.”  

It's what sets the platform apart: millions of users who aren't chasing quick snapshots or collecting digital pins, but rather building meaningful records of their adventures that they'll want to revisit for years to come.
