Hey Product Hunters! I’m Huong, founder of Magpie, the first female-focused global travel network. From my personal experiences growing up in embargoed Vietnam and trying to find ways to explore the world, I learned that women face certain unique challenges when traveling - ranging from high costs of traveling solo, to safety concerns while on the road. I started Magpie for female travelers to easily connect with other women, so they can help each other out wherever they go in the world. Magpie is a new approach to building your own community of inspiring female friends across the globe. You can browse, search, find and befriend women sharing common interests in your destinations. Membership is free for users to connect and meet each other. We also provide personalized VIP club membership for members to get hosted by our amazing Magpie female travelers. We would love to hear your thoughts about Magpie. Please let us know your feedback, and we are of course happy to answer any questions that you have. Happy hunting, Huong

@huongtdt Hi, is there a reason why the only way to sign up for the site is with facebook?

@missu our community is for women only, so we care deeply about keeping it exclusive and safe. For now, Facebook is the most convenient way for us to verify your identity and make sure all of our members are women. Our Customer Success team is also here to help ensure the community is vetted person by person. In the future, we hope to expand to various ways of logging in.

Really excited to see this on here, Huong! I wish I'd had Magpie when I went on my first solo trip in Europe back in 2009. :)

New Story

I had such an incredible experience last year staying at a Magpie residence in San Francisco. The Female Founders Conference had hundreds of women from around the world come to California and the trip was made so much better for many of these women, because of the Magpie experience.

I LOVE this idea and think @huongtdt you've definitely hit a real problem. Could have definitely used it when I was traveling solo a few years back and found myself in situations that in retrospect were quite risky. Now that I am living in another country though full time, I can also see this app also being really useful for connecting and meeting with local like-minded women. Is this a possible direction for the app?

@angielim thanks Angie, I wish you could have used Magpie few years back :) Please give it a try next time you travel and let us know your thoughts. For now, we're focused on empowering women to travel solo on their own terms and at ease. Your feedback noted for our future features, please keep them coming :)
