Travel Speed Dating with the Bindle Travel App

You’ve just stepped off the overnight train ride from the last country you visited, and while you absolutely loved your time there, you couldn’t help but feel a bit alone. So as you begin touring this new country, you yearn to share the experience with someone else, but you’ve traveled here as a party of one. Even the most hardened and solitude-seeking travelers begin to long for companionship while out on the road, and with the Bindle Travel App, you can easily find a new friend to travel by your side.

Some folks may want to share in a quick, one-day trip; others may be looking for some company for their week-long itinerary in a new city; and a few just may be searching for that perfect match who’s willing to go on that crazy, cross-continent, bucket-list tour with them. Nonetheless, like Tinder is to online dating, Bindle is to finding a travel companion. With it, travelers can find and connect with others nearby so those amazing travel memories can be created with new and interesting people alongside.

Having raised more than $16,000 from the more than 140 backers of their August 2014 Kickstarter campaign, the creators of the Bindle smartphone app have struck a nerve with young travelers yearning to connect with both like-minded and completely different folks who are also out and about looking and share in their life-changing experiences. And once you pair up with a new travel buddy, the unique, user-generated and user-rated travel guide within the app will help you both discover new adventures in the foreign lands.So as you’re taking in the sights and eating your way across the city, you can share your experiences with future users as well. Think of it as earning good karma by keeping your fellow travelers informed so they’re no longer lost for what to do when searching for their next adventures.

The Bindle app will likely be downloadable sometime in first-quarter 2015. And when it goes live, the world of traveling will never be the same.
