Apps to flirt while traveling
Today's dizzying pace of life has put an end to old customs. Who doesn't fondly remember gang trips? Not so long ago, as our elders tell us, it was much easier to balance the agenda with friends to organize a getaway. Now when some manage to grab a few days off, others have a work meeting, a report to finish in extremis, a family meal or any commitment that serves as an excuse (whether justified or not). For this reason, more and more people are seen in the situation of traveling alone.
Of course, not all travelers manage to get used to this way of seeing the world. Although there are many who prefer to take advantage of their trips to get away from everything else and connect with themselves, many others prefer to share each of their experiences with someone . For all those who can't find the time to travel with their friends, but aren't quite comfortable with being a lone ranger, endless applications are presented as alternatives.
Tinder, Happn... which one do you prefer?
If you are on the hunt for someone to share your journeys around the world with, take note. With these apps you will be able to find an adventure partner... and who knows if your better half. The first and most famous app is more aimed at achieving that second purpose, although it is also useful for achieving the first (and priority) objective. We are talking about Tinder.
In this case, the company will have to be found at the destination, not at the starting point. It will be enough to connect the GPS of our smartphone so that the girls or boys of the city who have registered on this platform appear on our screen. Afterwards, we will only have to decide if we like them by sliding their photos to the left **(no) ** or right (Yes) .
The same happens with happn . When we have landed on Seattle, Cuenca or Buenos Aires, we will only have to activate the locator of the mobile phone to check if that person who made us fall in love with just a look when we pass each other on the street (although we didn't have the courage to treat her to coffee on the go) is in the app.
No matter where you are, long live the Internet!
Aside from these applications, which we can use both when traveling and in our day-to-day lives, there are programs specially designed for the most traveler. If you want to have everything under control before leaving, you can register on Tripr. Its creators think that we are incapable of traveling alone , hence its slogan is “people, not a place, make the trip”.
For this, they propose us to review on their platform if someone plans to travel to the same destination as us and check if your interests and appearance match our preferences. If the affinity is mutual, we can get in touch and get to know each other a little before getting on the plane.
Something similar allows us to Wander, although in this case the creators do not hide who it is intended for: “the travel app for singles” . A subtle way of warning that its users are looking for travel companions... and something else.
All of them have an aesthetic quite similar to Tinder : We see the photos of other users, we consult their interests and we say if we like them. If two people mark each other, they can greet each other via chat. They will have to do the rest. The same thing happens in Wingman , an application that translates to airplanes what Tinder allows us to do when we have our feet on the ground .
the shyest They won't have to go through the trouble of getting up to talk to the high-flying beauty they've been matched with. Since there's no Wi-Fi or 3G on most aircraft, you'll be able to text each other via Bluetooth before unbuckling and meeting in person.
Airports, train stations, remote locations... it doesn't matter where!
Seen what has been seen, the airport and the planes can be an ideal place to find a travel companion. At least, that's what the creators of the veteran Meet At The Airport platform thought, who launched this service in 2011 to take advantage of the long and boring waits in the terminal. Meeting people is a great way to kill time.
A similar tool, but this time for use on the plane, is WeMetOnAPlane . It reminds us of Happn, and its purpose is throw us a cable to try to locate that boy or that girl with whom we fell in love without gathering the necessary courage to confess it.
Of course, not everything has to happen in the heavens. Intrepid travelers who prefer to shoulder their backpack and hit the road on foot can gather fellow adventurers at Backpackr. As if it were a passport, users get stamps from all the places they visit . Thus, someone could be attracted not only by their appearance or their interests, but also by their indomitable adventurous nature.
You will no longer have an excuse to postpone a getaway . If you can't stand traveling alone and your friends are always busy, there will always be someone who wants to visit that destination you had in mind. Your mobile phone will become your best ally and one of these applications could act as a chaperone. Who knows what fate will bring you?
