Overview
Prompt
Travelbuddy started as an idea when I was searching for someone to travel with me on my 2 month backpacking trip trough southeast Asia. I looked for someone to come with me for over 2 years. Searching through varoius forum pages online. The process was long and exhausting at times. Through the process I thought, this must be a way to make this easier. So, Travelbuddy has started. A way to find new friends to travel with is through the simple use of an app.
