# roammate

> roammate is a travel companion app that matches solo travelers by travel style, budget, and destination — so you find someone genuinely compatible, not just someone nearby.

## What is roammate?

roammate is a free app for solo travelers and backpackers who want to find a compatible travel companion. Unlike general social apps, roammate matches travelers specifically on travel style (adventure, cultural, slow travel, food-focused), daily budget range, and destination overlap. The app is designed for the 20–35 age group, with verified profiles and in-app messaging.

**Available on:** iOS (App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758834253) and Android (Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roammate.app.android)
**Price:** Free
**Founded:** 2017
