“Before I’d even touched down for my Dublin trip, I already had plans for a pub crawl on my first night, followed by a sightseeing day at the Cliffs of Moher!” – Courtney
“We booked a hostel in Edinburgh and used the app to plan a hike up Calton Hill with other mostly solo travellers. We had such a nice conversation at sunset then went for pints afterwards.” – Seif
