It’s such a good app to connect with just about anybody intertwined in the travelling community - from other travellers to hosts to locals, I’ve met so many great people that have definitely shaped my Australian backpacker experience. Super easy and safe to message and connect

*2024-03-22, version 1.4.4*

I love this idea and the app! I heard from a really good friend that she found a job over this app. Will try it and hopefully be lucky too!!

### 5/5 — Great concept, good people

*2024-01-09, version 1.3.2*

Abroadly has been a great experience for me as a traveller. The hosts are kind and generous, there’s lots of opportunity for cultural exchange, and even when people haven’t been able to host me themselves, they’ve used their network to connect me with others.

### 5/5 — This app helped me out so much!!!

*2024-01-06, version 1.3.2*

I had an amazing experience with app. I couldn’t find accommodation anywhere until someone recommended me to use Abroadly. Within a few days I found a place to stay with a lovely couple. I even returned to their place a few weeks later. And all that for a small fee, I highly recommend it. Especially to meet new interesting people and when hostel prices are so high.

### 1/5 — Too many attempts?

*2023-11-08, version 1.3.0*

The system declined my different usernames I tried to put in for only three times and then blocked me from continue further. Like are you serious?

### 1/5 — Absolutely not

*2023-08-22, version 1.1.6*

I was referred to this as I was looking to share my passenger seat on a roadtrip but if you think I’ll pay a monthly subscription to do so you must be outta your mind
