Why Vibe?

Traveling solo is a transformative experience: the freedom to choose your destination, change plans at the last minute, immerse yourself in a new culture at your own pace. But solo travel can also feel lonely. That's where Vibe comes in. Designed specifically for solo travelers, the app helps you find travel buddies anywhere in the world through its interactive map and detailed profiles. Whether you're looking for a hiking partner in Bali, a buddy to explore the backstreets of Tokyo or someone to share a local meal in Medellín, Vibe connects you with travelers who match your energy.

Vibe isn't a dating app — it's a tool for building authentic connections between travelers. Create your trip, set your objectives (adventure, culture, food, relaxation, volunteering...) and let the algorithm suggest compatible profiles. With advanced profile customization — photos, travel styles, languages, personality traits — every connection is meaningful. The best travel stories come from unexpected encounters. Find your travel buddy and turn every destination into a shared memory.

In brief

How does Vibe help with solo travel?

Vibe is a travel companion for solo travellers who want to meet other travellers present in the same city on the same dates. The app shows an interactive map where each profile is positioned roughly 500 metres around the actual location — accurate enough to gauge proximity without revealing an exact address, for safety reasons. The user creates a trip by entering destination, arrival and departure dates, and 3 to 5 interests: work-friendly cafés, hiking, nightlife, photography, food, etc. Vibe then suggests up to 20 matching profiles per city, ranked by interest proximity. A "vibe" request replaces anonymous swipes: it requires a short message (minimum 30 characters) to limit non-personalised contacts and encourage genuine conversations.

Is Vibe safe for meeting strangers?

Vibe applies 4 documented safety mechanisms. First, real-time selfie profile verification — the user must reproduce a specific gesture in a selfie to prove they are not using a downloaded photo. Second, the position is intentionally blurred within a roughly 500-metre radius and is never shared in real time. Third, a reporting system with human moderation in under 24 hours can ban abusive profiles. Fourth, a profile's travel history is publicly visible, which discourages disposable accounts created to harass. Vibe contains no dating features: filters and conversations are designed around shared activities (hiking, cafés, museums). The app is free on iOS and Android, with an optional premium tier to extend the search radius.
