Hey Hunters!
I want to introduce ya’ll to Cool Cousin, the friend you wish you had in every city you’re visiting.
We are a group of people who LOVE to travel, and I imagine that like you, we refuse to settle for generic experiences while abroad. With time, we’ve grown steadily frustrated with the endless hours of research required to find places that suit our taste, while trying to dodge biased reviews from anonymous contributors with creepy usernames like WAW2world and lazy “top ten” lists that seem crowd-sourced or bot generated.
Now, don’t get me wrong, we love bots (some of my best friends are bots), but we truly believe in the fabulous things that come from basic human connection between two like-minded people. It’s golden, I’m telling you.
And this is why we created Cool Cousin - so you’ll always have someone to reach out to when you’re in a new city. Using our app, you can easily step up your travel experience with recommendations and personalized advice from locals who share your taste and interests (aka cousins). Basically, you’re just two finger taps away from having your cousin’s full city guidebook at your disposal and from contacting them when you need a go-to local.
Our cousins are enthusiastic travelers themselves, who love their hometown and find great satisfaction in sharing their favourite spots, local businesses and things to do in the city.
You can already find cousins in London, Paris, Rome, Rio, Barcelona, Berlin and six more cities, with many more destinations coming soon.
Give us a try, I’m really excited to hear what you think. I'll be here to answer questions.
