NETWORKING FOR PEOPLE ON THE ROAD
See who is parked nearby
TripSnail connects people on the road: those right next to you and those you are only heading towards. An invitation instead of a “hi”.
Test version for Android (installed from a file). Google Play and the App Store coming soon · for people aged 18+
WHY TRIPSNAIL
Built to connect people on the road
You are out in the wild or abroad. Sometimes loneliness creeps in, sometimes you simply want to talk to someone, have a coffee or swap experiences. And sometimes you need help.
TripSnail is networking and social networking between people: you make connections in real life, not in a feed. Find others, share what you know and have a good time.
WHO IS HERE
We connect travellers of every kind
- Vanlife, campers and motorhomes
- Motorcyclists
- Cyclists
- People travelling by air
- Nomads of every kind
It is up to you where, with whom and why.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to coffee in good company
1
A map of people within reach
See people on the road nearby or where you are heading. No feed, no points, no rankings.
2
Invitation to connect
For a coffee, a shared route, help with your vehicle or just a chat. The reason becomes the first message.
3
One-to-one chat
You write to a person who accepted your invitation. You can block or report anyone.
YOU DECIDE
Be as visible as you want
One switch puts you on the map or takes you off it. By default you appear as a blurred pin in a zone — nobody sees exactly where you sleep.
Offline mode works both ways: when you disappear from the map, you cannot see anyone either.
Your pin is blurred to a 1.9 mi circle — nobody knows where you sleep.
In a group you see each other’s exact spots. You can hide in any group — then you don’t see their positions either.
Only this person sees your exact spot, shown with the “Show my location” button in a chat. It switches itself off.
Friends see your exact spot only if you turn it on in settings. By default they see what everyone sees.
You see nobody and nobody sees you
Apart from your groups and Friends you allow, your exact spot is visible only to someone you show it to with the “Show my location” button in a chat.
GROUPS AND FRIENDS
Travel together, stay in touch
Groups
A private group of up to 25 people with its own map and chat. You join by invitation or link, always through a consent screen.
Friends
The star next to someone sends a request. A Friend can message you straight away, without an invitation to connect.
You decide
In a group you see each other’s exact spots, and one switch hides you in the group. You choose whether Friends see your exact spot.
PRIVACY, NO STRINGS
Little data, no tricks
Last position only
We do not keep a location history.
We do not sell data
Data runs the app, it is not for advertising.
A human decides
Every decision that leaves a mark on an account is made by a person, not a machine.
No ratings, no stars
After a meeting there is just one plus — a recommendation. No minuses, no rankings.
You can delete your account in the app or on your account page, with a 30-day grace period to change your mind.
