Curated guides
Ready-made day-by-day routes
Travel tools
Free travel planning for Europe and Asia
Wandering Hermit is a free travel website built around original destination research—not a thin directory of affiliate links. We publish eleven day-by-day itineraries (France in a week, 5 days in Spain, Golden Triangle India, 10-day Thailand, and more), four printable language cheat sheets, and a growing library of planning articles written by our editorial team.
Use the AI trip planner above to generate a custom route from your cities and dates, or start from a curated guide when you want a proven pacing template. Every itinerary includes morning, afternoon, and evening ideas, practical tips, and an email option so you can save the plan offline.
We update guides when attractions change hours, when new train routes open, or when readers report outdated details. Our goal is the kind of depth you would expect from a focused travel blog—available without a subscription.
