Travel history

The spreadsheet contains placeholder text. This is not my real information.

It’s nice to be able to look back to recall when you went on a certain trip, or to see how many times you visited a place over the years.

Tips

  • Add upcoming trips and the conditional formatting in the sheet will grey them out until the date passes.
  • The Country column has a grey fill because it has a formula to pull from the Validation sheet. Add missing cities by adding a new row for the country. Look at the Validation sheet to understand the existing cities.


These spreadsheets are free to use, tweak, and make your own. I built them to organize my own chaos and figured they might help someone else too.

If you find value in them and want to support the time I spend creating and updating these resources, feel free to buy me a croissant. It helps fuel the next round of spreadsheet nerdery.
