goSTOPS

Introducing Community — a new way to meet your hostel. You know that feeling of landing at a new hostel, dropping your bag, and wondering who else is around? Community fixes that from the moment you check in. WHAT'S LIVE, RIGHT NOW Open the app and see what's actually happening at your hostel today — not a static list, a live one. Someone's doing chai sutta on the terrace at midnight. Someone else needs one more for river rafting at dawn. There's a sunset aarti plan forming by the ghat, and a foosball match one player short. It updates as people join, so what you see is what's really going on, right now — down to how many other travellers at your hostel are planning activities this very minute. JOIN, OR START YOUR OWN See something you like? One tap and you're in. Nothing on that catches your eye? Start it yourself — pick from ready-made templates for popular things to do near your hostel, or build something entirely custom: name it, set a date and time, add a price if there's one, and it goes live for everyone at the hostel to see. TALK BEFORE YOU MEET Every event gets its own chat, so you can sort logistics, vibe-check the group, or just say hey before you actually show up. There's also a hostel-wide chatroom for everything else — quick plans, spontaneous meetups, or just seeing who's up for what tonight. MARK WHAT LOOKS FUN Not ready to commit? Mark an activity, or a whole category, as interested — and we'll let you know if it turns into something real. See how many other travellers are eyeing the same thing. Sometimes that's all it takes for a plan to actually happen. HOSTING, MADE SIMPLE Start a plan and you're the host — see who's joined, who's interested, and invite more people or share it straight to the hostel chat with one tap. You're in control of who's part of it, and if someone's not the right fit, you can remove them from the event. If you ever need to step back, hosting passes smoothly to someone else in the group, so the plan never just falls apart. SEARCH FOR ANYTHING Got something specific in mind — a trek, a trail, a food crawl? Search for it directly. If it's not already happening, we'll help you turn it into a plan of its own, and show you what else is on nearby in case something catches your eye first. A COUPLE OF HONEST NOTES Any payments between you and other guests for an event are between you — goSTOPS isn't involved in that part. And once you're in, you're in: if you leave a chat or get removed from an event, that one's done, so plans stay reliable for everyone else in them. Because the best part of any trip was never just the place. It's the people you end up telling stories about later — and now, meeting them starts the moment you check in, not the moment you get lucky in the common room. Update now and see what's happening at your hostel tonight.
