When you’re living on the road, it’s hard to make and keep track of friends. Without community, living nomadically can feel lonely, or even dangerous. Crossroads is built specifically for nomads to find and foster friendships. The app keeps you in-the-know about nearby events, prioritizes your location safety when adding friends, and helps you keep in touch by showing where your travel plans will overlap next. Join this amazing nomadic community and know that on the next adventure, you won’t have to go it alone. _ Crossroads is free, but invite-only. You’ll need a 6-digit invite code to join. We hope you’ll provide our small volunteer-only team with feedback on how we can make Crossroads better for you and our entire community. You’ll also need to agree to the Community Commitment seen here: https://findcrossroads.com/#communitycommitment Hope to see you around the campfire soon.
