Why We Built >|||<
As humans, we are naturally social creatures. It is crucial for us to feel connected to our fellow humans, and that can be challenging, whether traveling to new places or trying to find a community at home. An essential ingredient to happiness is finding “real” friends. Our goal is to provide people with a platform to find these “real” friends anywhere in the world.
In doing so, the epidemic of loneliness will subside as people make connections and share previously unavailable experiences.
