For some people, going new places unplanned and meeting total strangers is adrenaline; for some it is plain creepy. Even though it is difficult to trust someone you never met in a place you never went before, there are some travel apps that can come in handy when you are lost.
We bring to you six apps that are great for travelers.
- Overnight: Users drop their pin and a list of available hosts appears who can pick them up. It’s like the Airbnb for spontaneous people.
- Wingman: the idea is to meet people at your airport, on your flight and at your destination.
- Findery: this is more like a virtual treasure hunt, using real life experiences to find out about people, places, etc.
- Follower: following a local is a great way to explore a new city and for those who are being followed, it is fun to know someone is watching everything you do.
- Tripwire: for the adventurer in you to get the best places to go to, things to do and who will be there.
- Winston Club: where you can share your hotel room with a stranger and save money. But just come out alive okay?
These apps do sound fun and crazy, but safety and awareness is priority over horrid experiences.
