The 'Mesmo' App Helps Travelers Build Connections Based on Common Interests

— June 11, 2015 — Tech
'Mesmo' is a new travel networking app that helps connect like-minded travelers before, during and after their trips. Doing away with the formalities of other networking apps such as LinkedIn, Mesmo is an open platform that helps to connect travels based on their common interests and activities.

The networking travel app works by allowing users to create a profile with a picture and up to 140 characters of information about their favorite hobbies, interests and activities. Mesmo will then match like-minded people anywhere in the world based on shared interests or experiences. While the app is ideal for those planning on visiting the same places, it is also useful for fostering connections after the fact.
