Travel Companionship Apps

Wandermates is a Solo Travel App That Helps You Make Travel Buddies

— October 15, 2014 — World
Wandermates is a solo travel app that helps you meet other people to travel or hang out with while you're out wandering the world. One of the most appealing things about traveling alone is meeting new people. This can be done if you stay in a hostel or take part in group activities, but it's not always easy.

This app is perfect if you're an adventure traveler looking for someone else to go zip-lining with, or indeed if you're just exploring an unfamiliar city and want to grab a beer with someone.

Wandermates app users have the ability to search 'meet-ups' where they can literally meet up with like-minded people interested in the same activities. You can also create and organize your own meet-ups.

Wandermates is available for iPhone, Android and Windows devices.
