Talk to strangers about travel
Everyone has one trip they can talk about for hours. Meet a stranger from somewhere else entirely and trade the places that surprised you, the disasters that became stories, and your endless bucket list.
Start chatting — freeWhy travel is better with a stranger
Travel talk is the one subject where being matched with a random person worldwide is the entire point. You get a local view of a place you are considering, from someone with no reason to sell it to you — which is worth considerably more than a listicle.
What people actually talk about
- The place that surprised you most and why
- Trips that went wrong and became better stories for it
- What your own city is actually like to live in
- Overrated destinations nobody wants to admit to
- Travelling solo, and whether it is worth it

Travel chat — common questions
Can I get local tips from people who live there?
That is one of the best uses of it. Matching is worldwide, so you can end up talking to someone who lives exactly where you are planning to go.
Can I arrange to meet someone while travelling?
No — chats are anonymous, nothing is stored, and there is no way to exchange contacts or find someone again. It is for conversation only.
