About Lugara
Lugara is a travel tracking platform designed for users who want to visualize their journeys without sacrificing data privacy. It transforms simple trip entries (city and dates) into a comprehensive travel history, featuring interactive maps, collectible pins for countries, and detailed analytics. A unique selling point is its focus on digital nomads and frequent travelers, providing a private tax residency dashboard that monitors stay durations against common international rules like the 183-day threshold. The service emphasizes data ownership, offering multiple export formats and a private API, while ensuring all data remains hosted within the European Union under GDPR protections.
