🧭 Trip Planning Fundamentals

A practical framework for planning trips well, covering pre-trip research, travel safety basics, and the growing importance of low-impact, respectful travel.

An interactive globe that turns trip planning into a single visible journey — a route arc shaped by transport mode, a footprint trail scaled to estimated emissions, and a readiness meter built from a real preparation checklist.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

How a trip's shape changes with the choices behind it: flights arc high with a heavier footprint trail, trains and overland routes stay low and lighter, and "travelling responsibly" visibly thins that trail while adding a respect ring at the destination.

🎮 How to Use

Pick a destination and transport mode, set a trip length, then tick off the visa, insurance and health checklist. The traveller marker only glows and completes its journey once readiness hits 100% — just as real preparation reduces risk before departure.

💡 Did You Know?

Rail journeys typically emit only a small fraction of the CO₂ per passenger of an equivalent flight, which is part of why slower, overland routes have become a visible strand of responsible-travel planning.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D globe that visualises a trip as a great-circle route between home and destination, where transport mode shapes the arc and CO2 footprint trail, and a preparation checklist drives a readiness meter that gates a clean departure.
