Planning a trip should be exciting, a chance to dream, explore, and look forward to new experiences. But let’s be honest: between flight bookings, itinerary changes, and trying to stick to a budget, it can quickly feel overwhelming. That’s where the AI SmartTraveller Google Sheets Travel Planner comes in – your digital travel companion, built to help you stay organised, stress-free, and one step ahead every step of the way.

A smiling woman in her 50s sits at a café in Venice, working on a laptop with a coffee and pastry beside her. She’s wearing an “AI Smart Traveller” t-shirt and using a Google Sheets travel planner. Gondolas pass by on the canal in the background, creating a relaxed and inspiring travel planning scene.

🧠 What Is the AI SmartTraveller Google Sheets Planner?

It’s a fully editable, easy-to-use Google Sheet that centralises all your travel planning in one place. Designed with smart structure and real-life travel needs in mind, it includes:

A day-by-day itinerary planner
A budget and expense tracker
Flight and accommodation logs
Packing lists for solo travellers, families, and even pets
Real-time collaboration so you can plan with others

While it’s not powered by AI itself, it is built to work hand-in-hand with tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek. You can ask smart questions, get even smarter answers and keep everything organised in one easy-to-use document.

🚀 Why Use a Google Sheet Over an App?

Most travel planning apps are limited to how they want you to plan. But this planner is built with flexibility in mind:

No logins or learning curve
Fully customisable
Works offline
Safe and private - your data stays with you
Accessible anywhere, from mobile to desktop

Whether on a train in Spain or in an Airbnb in Bali, you can keep your plans up to date without switching between apps.

⚙️ How This Planner Works With AI Tools

Let’s say you’re planning a trip to Italy.

You could use ChatGPT or Gemini to generate ideas like:

"Create a 3-day itinerary for Rome for food lovers"
"Compare the best coastal towns in southern Italy for a weekend trip"
"Suggest packing list for a hiking and wine-tasting trip"

Once you get those answers, plug them directly into your planner; no more jumping between browser tabs and losing information.

📚 Real-Life Example: Amy’s Lisbon Adventure

A woman in her 30s sits at an outdoor café in Lisbon’s Praça do Comércio, smiling as she works on a laptop. She wears an “AI Smart Traveller” t-shirt and uses a Google Sheets travel planner, with a digital itinerary sheet overlaid on the image. The scene reflects relaxed, efficient trip planning while travelling. — Smart planning on the go using our Google Sheets travel planner at Lisbon’s iconic Praça do Comércio to map out the perfect trip.

Amy was planning a solo trip to Lisbon but kept feeling overwhelmed by all the choices. She used ChatGPT to create a 4-day itinerary focused on food, walking tours, and local events. Then she copied it into the Google Sheet Travel Planner, linked her hotel booking, and added budget notes

She even shared the sheet with a new travel friend she met online so they could plan a shared day trip to Sintra in real time.

"I didn’t expect a spreadsheet to make me feel calm," she said. "But it worked. Everything was in one place."
