# How to create your first list

> Lists help you organize places by destination, trip, or theme. Creating your first list takes just a few minutes.

2. Give your list a name (e.g., "Austin," "Paris 2025," or "Weekend Getaways")
3. Click **"Create list"**

Your new list will appear on your dashboard.

## Set your start location
