The short version
TravelBuddy247 helps you discover people nearby, send a connection request, and chat only after the other person accepts. It is built for careful, public-first first meetings rather than instant messaging with strangers.
What you can do here
Browse travellers and locals near you and see who you might get along with.
Ask to connect. Chat opens only when the other person accepts — no cold messaging.
Plan a simple, public first meeting once you are both connected.
Request or offer peer airport-area guidance, in public airport areas only.
Follow affordable-stay ideas as the preview develops — no fake listings or fake availability.
Who it is for
International students, Erasmus students, newcomers, young travellers, and locals. Arriving somewhere new is often lonely and confusing, so the focus is people who want a friendly, low-pressure way to meet others and find their feet in a new city.
Where it starts: Saarbrücken, Germany
TravelBuddy247 is local-first. It starts in Saarbrücken — close to HTW Saar and Saarland University — because local density matters far more than launching everywhere at once. The product grows city by city, so some places may show empty states until a real community forms there.
Safety positioning
Connections are peer-based and consent-first: you connect before you chat, and you can report or block at any time. First meetings should stay simple and in public places. Once the platform is live, there are no fake or demo profiles. AirportBuddy is peer support only — it is not official airport, airline, taxi, medical, disability, mobility, elderly-care, immigration, or legal assistance. For official help, contact the airline or airport. See Trust & Safety for the full picture.
