# Travel Companionship Apps Wandermates is a Solo Travel App That Helps You Make Travel Buddies By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-10-15 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solo-travel-app References: [appbrain](http://www.appbrain.com/app/wandermates-a-solo-travel-app/com.wandermates.wandermates) & [wandermates](http://www.wandermates.com/) Wandermates is a [solo travel app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/share-trips) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisperly-app) interested in the same activities. You can also create and organize your own meet-ups. Wandermates is available for [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-guide-resorts), Android and Windows devices. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solo Travel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a solo travel app that focuses on connecting travelers with local hosts for a more authentic and immersive experience. - **Social Travel Networking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a social travel networking app that connects travelers with similar interests and allows them to plan activities together before their trip. - **Group Travel Facilitation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a group travel facilitation app that helps users find like-minded individuals to join group tours and activities while traveling. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Travel Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technology that enhances the travel experience by integrating intelligent matchmaking algorithms to facilitate connections between solo travelers. - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate social networking features into hotel booking platforms to create a community where travelers can connect and meet up during their stay. - **Social Networking:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a social networking platform specifically designed for travelers, enabling them to connect, share experiences, and plan activities together. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solo Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solo-travel-app1.md) - [Solo Traveler Planning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ffaroh-app.md) - [Solo Travel Matchmakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-bff-matchmaker.md) - [Backpacker-Connecting Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotravel.md) - [Connective Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-apps1.md) - [Educational Friend-Finding Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felse-travel-app.md) - [AI-Powered Travel Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wanderboat-ai.md) - [Travel Networking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floo.md) - [Interest-Based Matchmaker Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matchmaker-apps.md)
