Pick an activity — surfing, skiing, a festival, hiking or a city break — and TravelScanning scans flights, trains, buses, hostels and hotels worldwide. Each destination is scored against six live signals: wave height, wind, swell, sun hours, cost-vs-average and total travel time. Built for budget travelers, especially 18–30 backpackers.

Everything you need for the trip you actually want
Other apps ask you "Where?". TravelScanning asks "What do you want to do?" — and works backwards.
Multi-modal transport
Flights, high-speed trains, budget buses (FlixBus, BlaBlaBus style), and driving routes — including EV charging stops — compared side-by-side.
Real stays for every budget
Hostels (4/6/8/10-bed dorms, private rooms), apartments, camping and hotels — with social areas, amenities and age restrictions surfaced upfront.
Smart match scoring
Every result gets a 0–100 score that combines weather, activity conditions (wave height, snow depth, sun hours), travel time, total cost and savings vs. the average.
Eco alternative, every time
Every flight result shows a CO₂-friendlier train or bus alternative when available — same destination, lower footprint, often only marginally slower.

Frequently asked questions
What is TravelScanning?
An iOS app that searches travel deals based on the activity you want to do. Pick surfing, skiing, a festival, hiking or city break, set a budget, and the app finds the best matching destinations with flights, trains, buses, hostels and hotels.
Is TravelScanning free?
Yes. Free to download and free to search. TravelScanning is a metasearch — we make no money from you and never see your card. Optional Pro features unlock a monthly or yearly subscription.

Fully translated into 110+ languages — major world languages plus regional and minority languages including Corsican, Frisian, Sardinian, Maori, Hawaiian, Quechua and more.
Does TravelScanning support electric vehicles?
Yes. When you pick driving, mark your car as electric and the app factors in charging stops along the route, adjusting total travel time so the comparison with flights, trains and buses stays honest.
How are activity scores calculated?
A 0–100 match score combining weather, activity-specific conditions (wave height for surf, snow depth for ski, sun hours for tanning), travel time, total cost and savings versus average.
