Managing Trips
Trips are the core of TVL. Every feature — itineraries, expenses, journals, boarding passes — lives inside a trip.
Trip statuses
TVL automatically tracks where each trip stands:
- Upcoming — Start date is in the future
- On Trip — You are currently within the trip dates
- Past — End date has passed
Your dashboard highlights your current active trip with a green banner and your next trip with a blue countdown banner.
Trip types
- Leisure — Vacations, city breaks, beach trips
- Business — Work travel, conferences
- Drive — Road trips with Google Maps directions integration
- Adventure — Hiking, camping, outdoor expeditions
Editing a trip
Open your trip and click the Edit icon to update the trip name, destination, dates, type, or cover image.
Collaborating on a trip
You can invite other TVL users to plan a trip together. Collaborators can view and edit the itinerary, expenses, and journal.
Deleting a trip
Go to trip settings and scroll to the bottom. Click Delete Trip. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Trip limits
