## What is aki?

Your road is full of people you haven’t met yet.

aki helps you make vanlife friends. See who’s traveling nearby, who’s heading your way and where your routes cross. Whether you live in a camper van full time or head out for a few weeks in an RV, skoolie or overland rig, it’s easier to meet people along the way.

VANLIFERS NEARBY
See who’s around right now, at a campground, a boondocking spot or a trailhead. Your exact location is never shown publicly, and there’s no live tracking.

WHO’S HEADING YOUR WAY
Add your next stops and dates. aki shows you the vanlifers and overlanders going to the same place at the same time.

WHEN YOUR ROUTES CROSS
When you both want to meet, aki tells you both. All that’s left is to send a message and plan a meetup.

KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ROAD FRIENDS
Add the people you meet on the road as friends. You see roughly where they are, without live tracking, and when your roads cross again.

A COMMUNITY YOU CAN TRUST
Every profile is checked before it joins the community, and members can recommend each other. You know who you’re saying hi to, even when you travel solo.

NOT ANOTHER SOCIAL FEED
No public feed to keep up with. Just people on the road who want to meet.

Some meetings last an evening. Others a whole season. And some turn into real friendships.

aki helps you see when your roads cross.
