What is a travel Story Map?

A travel Story Map is an interactive way to show where a trip went and what happened along the route. As the route plays, each stop can reveal the photos and memories connected to that part of the journey.

Fruglar adds the part a static vacation photo map cannot: your travelers move from place to place by plane, ship, train, or car while your soundtrack ties the story together.

Your draft starts private. When it is ready, publish one shareable link for family, friends, a group, or your travel clients.

Animated route

Watch the journey move through the flights, ports, cities, sea days, and extra travel you add.

Photos by stop

Keep photos in story order so each destination opens at the right moment in playback.

Your soundtrack

Choose included music, or use Fruglar Plus to upload a personal rights-cleared soundtrack.

One shareable link

Publish when you are ready, then replay the story without sending a folder of disconnected photos.

How Story Studio works

Build the route. Bring the trip back to life.

Story Studio guides you through the story in five focused phases, and you can return to make changes anytime.

1

Name the story

Add the destination and dates, or join a shared itinerary with a Fruglar trip code.

2

Build the route

Paste an itinerary or add flights, ships, ports, hotels, drives, sea days, and other travel legs.

3

Add photos and memories

Attach the photos and captions that belong to each stop so playback stays in trip order.

4

Style, preview, and share

Build the traveling party, choose music, preview the full route, and publish only when it feels ready.

Three ways to tell the story

Start free. Add more only when it helps.

Create it yourself in Story Studio, unlock larger stories and more styles with Fruglar Plus, or send Fruglar the materials and let us build it for you.

Built for real trips

One story for every kind of journey.

A Story Map works for the trips that deserve more context than a photo dump—and more personality than a line on a map.

Cruises and multi-stop trips

Show embarkation, sea days, ports, flights, hotel nights, and the trip home in one continuous route.

Family and group travel

Share an itinerary code so each traveler can copy the route, use their own dates, and create a private Story Map with their own photos.

Weddings and milestone trips

Preserve the route, people, places, and soundtrack from a honeymoon, anniversary, graduation, or reunion.

Common questions

Story Map questions, answered.

Can I create a travel Story Map for free?

Yes. Story Studio starts free with up to 50 photos, included music and styles, and one active published Story Map. No credit card is required to start.

Does my Story Map become public immediately?

No. A new Story Map starts private. You choose when to publish and share the finished link.

Can I upload my own song?

Fruglar Plus unlocks personal soundtrack uploads. You must own the song or have permission to use it. Free Story Maps can choose from the included Fruglar music library.

What if I do not want to build it myself?

A Done-for-you Story Map is $49.99 for one trip and up to 150 selected photos. A Fruglar-created Custom Trip Song is a $50 add-on.

What happens if Fruglar books my trip?

Your Done-for-you Story Map is included after travel, along with a Custom Trip Song if you want one. Together they may be promoted as a $99 value.

Can everyone in a group make a different Story Map?

Yes. A shared itinerary code copies the route—not another traveler’s photos or private details. Each person can use their own dates, photos, memories, and styles.

Your trip already happened. Now tell the story.

Start with the route and add what matters at your own pace. Story Studio is free to begin, and your draft stays private until you decide to share it.
