The Letters To Somewhere App is a community based archiving and mapping project. It is designed to serve as your personal digital-physical migration archive to document the major and mundane elements of all of your travels and adventures in life. Every trip deserves its own journal in your own archive where you can record memories and photos for yourself and for the world.

The migration map is where every archive journal entry becomes a pin for a visual representation of the feats of your global exploration. It will track your migration pathways to show every corner of the globe you have reached and even demonstrate the overlaps your travels have had with all the fellow travelers you will meet in the community

To inspire you to dcument more of the memorable moments of your global discoveries and reflections we send out a Weekly Dispatch to give you any updates on the app and community as well as provide a weekly field notes writing prompt drawn from the collective migration patterns of all members.

The archive tools also include a true Digital Passport, where every journey earns an ink stamp to track your continents visited, countries passed, and writing milestones. Each stamp is rendered as a part of your hand-pressed passport collection that only you can fill.

You can utilize the Passport Export feature to render a beautiful typeset PNG or PDF of all of your archive stats and your personal stamp collection as a visual keepsake of your documented adventures to cherish and share.

Also delve into the world of temporal correspondence with the Open When letter feature, which allows you to write letters to someone or to yourself, sealed until the right moment. Whether that be a moment of arrival, change, reflection, or distance, some messages need time before they can be read.

The Letters To Somewhere App is an open space to all wanderers, nomads, and correspondents, ready for you to begin your archive. So, your passport awaits, time to fill it so every memory you write becomes a part of the permanent record of your life’s journey.
