Why "Join as a Traveler"?

FOR TRAVELERS: Browsing is open to everyone. Joining is how you start planning your Fernwayer-style trip.

You don't need an account to browse

Explore every Experience and read about the Experience Makers — and there's plenty to read for inspiration, too. Browse Explore Places for Fernwayer's recommendations on things to do, Lookbook for sample itineraries, and Wayer for stories from the road. All of it is open, with no sign-up.

What joining lets you do

Book and save

  • Book an Experience — reserve your Experience with an Experience Maker, on a specific date.

  • Save what you love — create one or more Dream Boards to keep the Experiences you're considering, so you can plan a trip around them later.

Questions and chat

  • Before you book — questions go to Fernwayer Support through Chat, including help deciding between Experiences, so you book with confidence.

  • After you book — a direct line to your Experience Maker opens in Fernwayer Chat, so you can share what you need and arrive already knowing each other a little.

Plan your trip

  • Plan with help — have a Fernwayer curator design your whole itinerary through The Human Edit.

  • Get help from FernFern, our AI assistant, helps you find Experiences that fit your trip. Sign in, and your conversations are saved so you can return to them any time.

  • Get inspired — not traveling yet? Explore Lookbook itineraries built around real Experiences, and save what you love to a Dream Board.

On the iOS app

  • Build Journeys — turn your Dream Boards into a day-by-day itinerary, or copy a Lookbook itinerary and make it your own. You can always add additional Experiences to your Journey via Search.

  • Set Travel Goals — set broad goals for your travels each year.

  • Share and connect — post Stories from your Experiences, follow other Travelers, and "Wow" the Experiences that catch your eye.

What signing up involves

Joining is free and takes a minute — just your name, email, and year of birth.

You're welcome to add a photo, a short bio, and where you're based; these are optional, but they help you connect with the Fernwayer community and give your Experience Maker a little context about you when you book.

You'll get a verification email right away — click the link to confirm your email, and you're in. For extra security, you can turn on two-factor authentication any time in Settings, which sends a one-time passcode to your email.
