Inspiration
People often worry about travelling since they may not know people nearby, or may be travelling alone. It would be useful to know people to whom a traveller can turn to for help while abroad.
What it does
The app connects people with similar itineraries, and helps travellers heading to nearby areas to help each other in cae of emergency.
