Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Aaron, founder of Nearby Traveler. The idea came from a personal experience — I met someone while traveling, we fell out of touch, and a year later discovered we'd both been in Barcelona at the same time without knowing it. That missed connection haunted me for years. I spent 15 years in the Couchsurfing community hosting 400+ travelers from 50 countries. I watched incredible people miss each other constantly — not for lack of wanting to connect, but for lack of infrastructure. Nearby Traveler is that infrastructure. Open it in any city and see who's free right now — locals who want to meet travelers, travelers who just arrived. One tap to connect. It's free, it's live, and we have an active community already in LA. Would love your feedback — especially from solo travelers and digital nomads who know this feeling firsthand.
