Travel Friends

I've travelled a lot just before the pandemic and would have loved to have an app like this. I feel like it would've enriched my experience. I was too shy to talk to people but still wanted to make friends in the hostels I'd stay at so this would've been perfect. I think the only thing I'd worry about would be safety, but I guess any app with personal info carries that risk. Fantastic work, very exciting app!

Nice idea, @daniel_tait1! Have fun in Gran Canaria – I was there for a few months last year and really loved it!

I used to rely on my hostel to meet other travelers in a new place, but now I stay alone in airbnbs so I can work during the day. I’ve found this to be a lot more isolating so I’ve created a map where I can add my profile and explore if there are any other travelers nearby to meetup with - https://travelfriends.xyz It’s pretty basic but would love some feedback if any of you would use it? My friends liked the idea and a few of them have added their profiles. I’ve also asked the local hostels to post it on their boards because I thought it could also be a nice way for shyer people to meet others in their hostel. What do you think?

There was a dating app based on the same principle. :)

Hi! great concept. How is this different with Couch surfing? especially with their hang outs feature which is location based?

This seems like a low fidelity metaverse through texts to me. But still a long way to go. Would love to know what made you build this? ?makers
