Don’t know how to make friends while traveling and don’t want to give up your independence to travel alone? So, this problem may have its days numbered.
An app with a very cute name has just been launched with the promise of bringing together people who travel alone, but like to share moments with happy people.
Penguin: a new travel experience
It’s been some time since traveling alone stopped being synonymous with loneliness. After all, every day, men and women feel increasingly free to explore the world without the dependence of having someone by their side.
Therefore, similar to a dating app, the Penguin seeks to unite people with common interests who are alone on trips to be adventure partners and be able to record good memories on sightseeing trips.
The similarity with Tinder lies only in the ability to generate connections between people, as Pinguim allows the user to indicate where they are going or which destination they want company. Then just wait for others to get in touch.
Before long, you will see that there are other people who want to enjoy a trip to the same place as you, whether in Europe or on the Brazilian coast.
Today, the app has also become an environment in which women look for other women to travel together. The idea is that they support each other, providing greater security for solo travelers. Estimates indicate that travelers represent 65% of the app’s audience.
On Pinguim, users can chat privately, use the search magnifying glass to see which travelers’ other favorite destinations are and, who knows, even find a romantic partner with similar affinities and tastes to theirs.
Travel itineraries and safety tips
In addition to connecting people, Pinguim also offers personalized travel itinerary solutions, which can be great for those who have little free time to plan trips.
Although it is an app to connect travelers, knowing some safety tips is essential to avoid falling into traps. See some of them:
- Prefer to schedule your first meeting with your travel partner in a public place;
- avoid sharing very intimate personal information at first and do not publish personal telephone and email addresses;
- Don’t ignore your intuition and, if you think something is wrong, walk away.
Penguin is available for Android and iOS.
