Features

Traveler to traveler matching

Travelers create a profile including their travel dates and destinations. Travelers will then be presented with profiles of other travelers who have entered corresponding dates and destinations.[6] The itinerary function means users can connect with other travelers before embarking on a trip.

Traveler to local matching

Using the same interface, travelers can connect with locals hosting tours in their destinations.[7] The matching function also allows locals to meet travelers while earning income by providing tours.
