What we found about Traveling
Traveling alone can be a lonely experience, especially when you are in a new place and don't know anyone. Many people would like to meet other travelers who share their interests and hobbies, but finding them can be difficult. Traditional travel groups often have rigid schedules and may not necessarily match the interests of individual travelers. Many travelers meet new people in hostels, hotels, and other places, but this can be time-consuming and unreliable.
The Ask
he ask is to create an companion app for the “Lonely Planet” Book that doesn’t stick and that can still exit in the “Lonely Planet” ecosystem, targeting the Gen-Z.
We focus on meeting people with the same interests and making their traveling experience a lifetime memorable one
Conclusion
Travel Buds provides a solution for travelers who want to meet like-minded individuals while on the go. The app's use of avatars ensures privacy and equality for all users, and the 'hide mode' feature allows users to control their visibility on the app. The chat and friend features allow users to connect with others and create lasting memories. It is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to enrich their travel experiences by meeting new people and finding travel companions with ease.
