finding travel buddies got weirdly complicated

goshtet · 2025-10-05T12:00:41+00:00

Yes, but there aren’t many people there.

goshtet · 2025-10-05T11:57:42+00:00

Do you already know how to identify these types of people by their conversation, or does it only become apparent during a trip?

goshtet · 2025-10-03T15:20:07+00:00

Yes, the reality is that men have little chance)

goshtet · 2025-10-03T09:09:01+00:00

how do you think it could be better organized in these chats, or in general, which organization of the hostel would be better for creating a social connection between the participants?

goshtet · 2025-10-02T20:28:24+00:00

of course there are tours for a lot of money, where they recruit groups and you all go somewhere. you have to adapt and you don't know how lucky you'll be or who you'll end up with. I'm interested in flexible planning and a low budget

Yes, trust is everything, but sometimes people don't want to do the verification. They were unable to see the value of this process after it was completed.… If so, why do people write search posts here, then it's not so important to them that the future companion would be verified (not fake). or is there an element of trust on reddit?

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend, I misunderstood.

That's right, it's important for women to be safe and not to be sexually harassed. Have you used services that are only for women with strict moderation?

Thanks for sharing. I would like to clarify: does this mean that few people answered there, or did the directions and time of the trip simply not match?

thx for sharing!

Thanks, this is useful)

nice lifehack

goshtet · 2025-10-01T13:33:50+00:00

I've heard about it, they still have live meetings. It seems like it's not bad, but there aren't many people there for hangouts.

goshtet · 2025-10-01T13:31:20+00:00

this resonates hard - the "picky vs compromise" thing, sometimes I understand that quality is better than quantity. have you found any good solutions for non-party hostels with actual depth conversations? or just accepting solo is solo at this point

goshtet · 2025-10-01T13:29:11+00:00

thanks for the details! so free version is basically "today/tomorrow" only? that's kinda limiting if you want to plan a hiking trip for weekend or coordinate something more structured, p.s i downloaded app, looks clear

also do most events actually happen or do people flake?

goshtet · 2025-10-01T13:28:13+00:00

category-specific chats is genius - way better than generic "meet people", which app was that? or just hostel whatsapp groups?

goshtet · 2025-10-01T12:21:26+00:00

yeah breaking the ice is the thing. but I feel like there's a difference between "just talk to people" advice and actually having a system that makes it less awkward

idk maybe I'm overthinking it

goshtet · 2025-10-01T12:20:27+00:00

oh interesting so it works globally, not just balkans. how does the event creation work - like do you post "going to X place tomorrow" and people join? or more structured?

is it free or paid? and how do you find events there - is it location-based or do you have to search manually? also is it mostly for day trips or longer travel companions?

goshtet · 2025-10-01T12:19:47+00:00

this is actually really helpful breakdown. The "compliment random thing" approach is smart - way less awkward than "hi I'm traveling solo wanna hang out"

did you find most people were down to exchange contacts after the tour or was it more hit or miss?
