“Solo travel is a surprisingly brilliant way to meet a potential partner as it presents an ideal opportunity to bond over shared interests,” said Barnett. “For those planning to travel alone, the TourBar app is excellent as it allows members to find others who share similar interests and are also planning to visit the same destination.”
The new TourBar app allows its one million global members to sign up for free and register their solo travel plans and interests in order to meet up with a like-minded companion on their trip. For those who have no immediate travel plans of their own, the website and app also offers users the option to register as a Guide to host incoming travellers in their home city.
Barnett added: “For those who feel nervous at the thought of travelling unaccompanied, meeting up with a verified member who has registered as a Guide can be a great confidence boost and is a wonderful way to make long-lasting friendships or relationships, whilst also exploring hidden areas of a destination popular with the locals.”
