## What is Joya?

Joya is where your next trip finds its people.

Post where you're going, when you'll be there, and what kind of travel companion you're looking for. Discover solo travelers, backpackers, digital nomads, and explorers heading to the same place at the same time.

Joya is built around real trip plans, not random messages. Send a friend request when someone feels like a good match. Chat unlocks only after they accept, so your inbox stays yours.

WHY JOYA
- Find travel friends by destination, dates, interests, language, and travel style
- Post public trip plans with photos, budget, companion preferences, and flexible dates
- Swipe through compatible matches and connect with a personal opener
- Browse trips from people heading where you're going
- Keep social media usernames private until you approve a request in chat
- Build your Travel World Map with visited and wishlist countries
- Use report and block tools when something does not feel right

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create your profile and add your travel interests.
2. Post a trip with your destination, dates, plan, and who you want to meet.
3. Explore travelers and trip posts that overlap with your route.
4. Send a friend request when you find a good match.
5. Chat after the request is accepted, then plan together.

FIND YOUR PEOPLE
Joya helps you find a travel buddy for a backpacking route, a city break, a study abroad semester, a workation, a festival, a road trip, or a long solo adventure.

Match with people based on:
- Same destination or country
- Similar dates or flexible timing
- Shared interests and travel style
- Languages and profile details
- Verified profiles and safety filters where available

SAFETY FIRST
- Friend-request-gated messaging keeps strangers out of your DMs
- Phone verification supports more trusted connections
- Verified badges help you spot safer profiles
- City-level location only — never exact GPS
- Report and block tools are available across the app

TRAVEL-FIRST MATCHING
Joya is made for travel friends, buddies, companions, and people who want to make a trip more social. Every match starts with trip context: where you're going, when you'll be there, and what kind of experience you want to share.

NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION
Joya is free to use with daily actions for browsing, posting, and connecting. There is no monthly subscription.

When you want more for a trip, unlock a fixed Trip Pass. Trip Passes do not auto-renew:
- 7-Day Trip Pass
- 30-Day Trip Pass
- 90-Day Travel Pass

Prefer to pay as you go? Buy Joya and spend it only when you need it: boost a trip post, send a Super Request, unlock an advanced filter, or highlight your profile.

IN-APP PURCHASES
Trip Passes are non-renewing purchases and do not auto-renew. Joya packs are one-time consumable purchases. Prices may vary by region.
