Round-the-world and long-haul travel
Tools for the long way around
A round-the-world trip is months of planning balanced on a few hard bookings. One sold-out permit, refugio, or timed entry can bend the whole route. TravelRTW builds small, focused tools for exactly those moments. The first one is live below.
Free while in preview. No account, no email, nothing that identifies you.
Tool one: Availability Watch
For the moment your must-do attraction shows sold out and the best advice anyone has is "keep checking."
An alert the moment a sold-out slot opens back up
Set a watch on the attraction and date you need. A monitor checks the official booking site around the clock, and the instant a slot reopens your device gets a notification with a direct link to book it yourself, at the official price. It never resells, holds, or books tickets. You can try the whole loop right now on a clearly labeled demo attraction.
Watching now: a live demo you can test end to end. Coming online: Machu Picchu, the Alhambra, and the Torres del Paine refugios. Each target is added only after its terms of service allow read-only monitoring.
How everything here is built
Travel tools have a long tradition of dark patterns. These are the rules every TravelRTW tool follows, and they are structural, not promises.
- No reselling, holding, or booking on your behalf
- No accounts, no email, zero personal data
- No countdowns, fake scarcity, or invented urgency
- Official channels only, and we drop any target whose terms say no
When a booking falls through, start here
Short field guides for the moments that actually break trips: what happened, why, and what you can still do about it.
Machu Picchu sold out
How the circuit and daily-cap system works, when slots reopen, and how to catch one.
Torres del Paine refugios full
Why the W trek books out months ahead and what your real options are by season.
Alhambra tickets gone
How the timed-entry pools work and which reopenings are worth watching for.
Where this is going
TravelRTW is growing into a small workshop of planning tools for month-scale independent travel: the watcher first, more failure-moment guides next, and further tools only as each earns its place. One tool at a time, each one live and working before the next begins.
