Every Trip. One Planner.
Zero Spreadsheets.
Plan, pack, journal, and budget — for every destination — without juggling five different apps.
Great trips deserve great planning — and terrible trips often come from no planning at all. The Polite Fish Travel Planner gives every journey its own dedicated section inside a single beautiful PDF: a trip cover, daily itinerary pages, accommodation and transport log, packing list, and trip budget tracker, plus daily journal pages to capture the moments you'll actually want to remember.
Configurable for multiple trips, with per-destination page sets inside each one — plan one adventure or an entire year of multi-city journeys. Built to order with your color palette and your page counts. Open it on your iPad before you leave, fill it in as you go.
Every layer of the travel experience, covered
From booking to reflecting — a structured home for every part of the journey.
Multi-Trip Structure
Configure the number of trips at purchase. Each trip gets its own tabbed section with a cover page — so Portugal, Japan, and your road trip all live in the same planner without bleeding into each other.
Daily Itinerary Pages
A page for each day of the trip — morning, afternoon, and evening columns, plus a highlights strip and a space for the small details that make travel memorable.
Accommodation & Transport Log
Confirmation numbers, check-in times, addresses, and contact info for every hotel, rental, and flight — all in one place, accessible offline on your iPad.
Per-Destination Pages
Traveling through multiple cities on one trip? Each destination within a trip gets its own dedicated pages — itinerary, notes, and journal — so Paris and Marseille don't share the same lines.
Trip Budget Tracker
Pre-trip budget vs. actual spend per category — flights, accommodation, food, activities, shopping. Know where your money went before you land home.
Pages that travel as well as you do
Designed for use on a tablet — clean enough to plan with, spacious enough to journal in.
Everything included
Every section you need — organized per trip, so nothing from one journey bleeds into another.
Year Overview / Trip Timeline
Mark all your planned trips on a yearly view so you can see the full shape of your travel year at once.
Trip Cover Pages
Each trip section opens with a dedicated cover — destination name, dates, and a notes strip for the first thing you're excited about.
Daily Itinerary Pages
Morning / afternoon / evening columns plus highlights and notes — one page per travel day.
Accommodation Log
Hotel names, confirmation numbers, check-in/out times, addresses, and emergency contacts — all offline on your iPad.
Transport Log
Flights, trains, rentals, ferries — booking references, departure times, terminals, and notes for every leg of the trip.
Packing List
Categorized packing list with checkboxes — clothes, toiletries, tech, documents, and a custom section for trip-specific items.
Trip Budget Tracker
Pre-trip budget and actual spend per category. Know whether you're on track — before the credit card bill arrives.
Daily Travel Journal Pages
Prompted journal entries for each travel day: best moment, unexpected discovery, what you'd do differently, and a free-write section.
Per-Destination Pages
Multi-city trips get per-destination sections — you tell us how many destinations each trip includes and we generate the right number of pages for each one. Paris and Barcelona stay in their own lanes.
Hyperlinked Navigation
Jump directly to any trip section, any day's itinerary, or any log page — no scrolling through hundreds of pages mid-trip.
Configure for your trips. Your destinations. Your style.
Set the number of trips you want to plan this year, choose how many journal pages each trip gets, and pick the color palette that makes you feel like packing a bag. The planner is assembled to your specifications — nothing generic, nothing pre-printed.

18 Color Palettes
Pick the palette that makes your planner feel like the trip itself — adventure, calm, wanderlust, or warmth.
Variable Trip Count
Configure for one trip or many — each gets its own full section, tabbed and hyperlinked for instant access.
Destinations Per Trip
Specify how many destinations each trip includes — we generate a dedicated page set for each one. Multi-city itineraries stay organized by city, not just by date.
Choose Your Page Counts
Set how many itinerary days and journal pages each trip section includes. A weekend and a three-week trip get exactly what they need.
