Polarsteps Unpacked: A Personalised Look Back at Your Year in Travel

Polarsteps, the travel app used by more than 18 million explorers worldwide, announces the launch of Polarsteps Unpacked, the in-app experience that gives every traveller a personalised, story-driven look back at the journeys that shaped their year.

Unpacked turns each user's 2025 travel history into a beautifully crafted snapshot, highlighting their most memorable adventures, unique travel stats and the moments that defined who they were on the road.

Bringing together the trips you've documented over the past 365 days, Polarsteps Unpacked reveals:

• How far you travelled
• Number of days travelled
• Distance you travelled
• Your furthest point from home
• Countries visited, including the most unique place you visited
• Thematic highlights and your 'Travel Personality', generated using Polarsteps' human-centred AI
• The travel buddies you shared adventures with

Designed to be fun to explore and even more fun to share, Unpacked is a celebration of everything that made your year in travel unforgettable, from the spontaneous detours to the once-in-a-lifetime discoveries. Unpacked shows where you've been, what you've seen, and who you are as a traveller.

The launch follows the newly released Polarsteps Year in Travel 2025 report, which highlighted striking shifts in global travel behaviours. For example, British travellers are now posting more public travel content than any other major European nation (44%), and they are adopting AI-powered planning faster than any of their European counterparts, with 23% already using AI for inspiration.

Polarsteps Unpacked will be available exclusively within the Polarsteps app from 15 December. To unlock it, users must have recorded at least one trip (with content) in the past year.
