My Travels, travel map on a 3d globe: home page
Overview

A map of every place I’ve been, pinned on a 3D globe you can spin.A map of every place I’ve been, pinned on a 3D globe you can spin.

The challenge

After a few dozen countries, photo albums and lists just weren’t cutting it. I wanted one place where I could see everywhere I’d been.After a few dozen countries, photo albums and lists just weren’t cutting it. I wanted one place where I could see everywhere I’d been.

The approach

A 3D globe made with React Three Fiber, with a pin for every place. Spin it, click a country, and a side panel opens with the details of that trip.A 3D globe made with React Three Fiber, with a pin for every place. Spin it, click a country, and a side panel opens with the details of that trip.

For the redesign I wanted it to feel like a travel journal, not a dashboard. Instrument Serif (some of it in italic) gives the headings that journal feel, JetBrains Mono handles the coordinates, country codes and dates, and Inter covers everything else. The colours are near-black and silver with one warm orange for places I’ve actually lived, so home stands out from the places I’ve only visited.For the redesign I wanted it to feel like a travel journal, not a dashboard.
