roammate - Travel Buddy Finder
Meet Solo Travelers & Friends
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Solo travel, minus the solo part. Find roamers nearby, join excursions, and share your plans with people you trust — automatic safety check-ins included.
roammate is a social travel companion that helps solo and small-group travelers find like-minded people, join excursions, and explore local experiences together.
Whether you're backpacking through Southeast Asia, exploring European cities, or discovering your own neighborhood, roammate connects you with travelers who share your interests and are nearby right now.
KEY FEATURES
Find Travelers Nearby
See who's around you in real-time. Browse profiles, check shared interests, and connect with fellow roamers without the awkward swiping.
Join or Create Excursions
Grab coffee, explore a neighborhood, hit a night market, or go on a hike. Excursions are lightweight, low-commitment activities you can join in a tap.
Real-Time Chat
Message other travelers instantly. Share photos, voice messages, and plan meetups. Group and 1-on-1 conversations with typing indicators.
Safety First
Identity verification, emergency SOS with location sharing, check-in timers, and emergency contacts. Travel with confidence knowing help is a tap away.
Trip Memories
Your excursions, photos, and connections become shareable trip summaries. Relive your adventures and show friends what they're missing.
Build Your Travel Profile
Share your interests, countries visited, languages spoken, and travel style. Your profile is your travel resume.
Bucket List
Track places you want to visit. Discover what other travelers have on their lists. Share completions and inspire each other.
Groups
Join travel communities organized by destination, interest, or travel style. Share tips, plan trips, and find travel buddies.
roammate is for travelers who are currently traveling or about to be. Not a planning tool, not a review site — a live companion for people on the move.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This one is mostly about signing in.
- Fixed the problems that stopped Facebook sign-in from completing, including for people who decline app tracking.
- Signing in with X or Snapchat can now use the browser session you already have, so you may not need to type your password again.
- When a sign-in does not work, the app now tells you what went wrong instead of quietly doing nothing.
- "Do this later" on the identity check during setup takes you back to browsing instead of leaving you stuck on that step.
- Finishing identity verification is recorded properly. Previously the app stopped waiting before the result came back, so people who completed it were still shown as unverified.
- Chat and live updates recover more reliably after your connection drops or the app returns to the foreground.
- Creating an excursion no longer creates two if you tap the button twice.
