Wanderkin

Wanderkin is the travel community app for LGBTQ+ solo travelers. It connects verified queer travelers and locals in the same city so they can meet up, and travel together, not alone. PLANS BY TONIGHT Open the app. See public meetups happening in your city right now; dinner at a queer-friendly restaurant, a walking tour, drinks at a rooftop bar. Tap "I'm in." You're in a group chat with verified people and a plan for tonight. Every meetup links to a queer-friendly venue with safety tags. Every attendee is selfie-verified. You know what you're walking into and who you're meeting before you show up. BROWSE 50 CITIES FROM YOUR SOFA Not traveling yet? Scroll through Barcelona, Tokyo, Berlin, or Cape Town and see real meetups with real people. When you spot something you want to join, add a trip and you're in. The meetup feed is your window into the queer social scene of any city before you book the flight. PLAN AHEAD TOO Add a future trip with your destination and dates. Wanderkin shows you other verified queer travelers who overlap in that city during those dates. Message them directly, join a destination group chat, or propose a meetup of your own. Strangers become dinner plans before you land. EVERY USER IS VERIFIED Selfie verification is mandatory before anyone can message, post, join a meetup, or appear in anyone's results. No exceptions. Community guidelines are enforced with a 24-hour moderation response target. This is the trust foundation that no other travel app has. NOT A DATING APP Profiles lead with travel plans and interests, not photos. There is no swiping, no algorithmic matching beyond destination and date overlap, and no dating behaviour tolerated. The social dynamic is "who's around" and not "who's compatible." QUEER-FRIENDLY PLACES A crowdsourced directory of queer-friendly places in every city: bars, restaurants, cafés, cultural spaces. Each listing has structured safety tags such as gender-neutral bathrooms, trans-friendly, staff trained on pronouns, neighbourhood safety at night with community reviews and upvotes. Meetup locations link directly to these listings. CITY FEEDS Real-time recommendations, safety tips, questions, and meetup invitations from travelers and locals on the ground. Safety tips are visually highlighted. Posts are upvoted for utility, not liked for popularity. YOUR NETWORK GROWS WITH EVERY TRIP A persistent friend system turns one-time travel encounters into a lasting network. Someone you met in Barcelona shows up when you're both heading to Berlin six months later. Every trip adds to your community. POST-MEETUP SAFETY After every meetup, the app checks in. If something felt wrong, it routes to moderation immediately and not buried in a report queue. The community stays trusted because trust is actively maintained, not assumed. 50 LAUNCH CITIES Berlin, Barcelona, London, Bangkok, Mexico City, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Taipei, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Milan, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Reykjavik, Dublin, Edinburgh, Manchester, Brussels, Zurich, Munich, Hamburg, Athens, Porto, Valencia, Seville, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Santiago, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Cape Town, Sydney, Melbourne.
