🧳 Building a travel app for solo travelers — got 2 mins to help?
Hey everyone!
I’m building a mobile app for solo travelers, backpackers, and nomads especially folks exploring the world alone.
The app makes solo travel smoother by helping you:
• connect with nearby people & group hangs
• find fun, safe spots to explore right away
• locate cafes with strong wifi & good vibes
Right now I’m researching the first-hour experience — that moment when you land in a new city and think: "ok... now what?"
To shape the product, I’ve got 5 quick questions for you (drop your answers in the replies or DM if you prefer):
1. When you arrive in a new city, what’s the first thing you look for?
(ex: food, wifi, people, hostel, safety tips, transit...)
2. What’s the hardest thing about traveling solo?
(ex: loneliness, decision fatigue, safety, finding info, cost...)
3. Would you join a nearby hangout or group plan if the vibe was right?
(yes / maybe / nah I’m solo mode)
4. What’s one app feature that would make solo travel 10x better for you?
(ex: auto-match with other travelers, local tips, instant hang invites, event map…)
🙏 I’d be super grateful for any answers. Happy to share the MVP & UI soon — thanks!

Thank you Karim!
a friend was working on this pre-covid, but I think it never took off: www.producthunt.com/products/… perhaps still useful for inspiration
