How it works
Scan the badge, load your gallery
No app, nothing to type, nothing to sign into. Stick a badge somewhere it will be seen, point a camera at it, and the photographs from that trip open. You can fill a gallery before the badge even arrives.
Stick
Put your badge wherever you want it seen — a case, a bottle, a laptop. They’re weatherproof vinyl, made for wear and tear, and not meant to be moved once placed.
Scan
Point your phone camera at the code on the badge. It opens a page that belongs to that badge alone — no app, no account, no sign-up.
Remember
Add up to twenty photographs from that trip. Anyone who scans the badge sees them. Lock it with a password if you’d rather keep it to yourself.
What a badge page looks like
Photographs hang together, each stamped with the badge they belong to.

- What is a Wander Badge?
- An illustrated sticker for a place you have been, with a private code printed on it. Scanning the code opens a page holding the photographs from that trip.
- Do I need an app?
- No. Point a phone camera at the code and the page opens in the browser. There is nothing to install, nothing to type and nothing to sign into.
- How many photos can one badge hold?
- Up to twenty photographs per badge, and each badge has its own separate gallery.
- Are my photos private?
- Yes. A gallery is private until you choose to publish it, and you can make it private again at any time. Private galleries are not listed in search engines.
- If two people buy the same country, do they share a gallery?
- No. Every badge is printed with its own code, so two people who both buy the same place get two entirely separate galleries.
- Where can I stick a badge?
- They are water resistant and made for water bottles, laptops, luggage and coffee mugs. Hand washing is recommended.
- Do Wander Badges make a good gift for a traveler?
- They are made for it. Badges are $2.99 each, so a set of the places somebody has been is an inexpensive gift, and the photographs they add afterwards are the part they keep.
- What else can the badges go on?
- The same badges can be printed onto a Wander Tumbler (up to six places), a Wander Journal (up to eight across both covers) or a Wander Mug (up to two).
