HerePin – Meet Travellers

Description of HerePin – Meet Travellers

HerePin provides travellers a fun, new way to meet people and see what others are doing in real-time based on your location.
Meet travellers to go on adventures with, discover local secrets, and get off the beaten track, wherever you are.
“Travelling by yourself makes it hard to meet like-minded travellers. It’s not easy just to walk up to a group of people at your hostel and introduce yourself. HerePin helps break the ice and lets you find travellers who are interested in doing the same stuff as you” – Max Wordsworth

BRINGING THE WORLD TOGETHER THROUGH TRAVEL
One of HerePin’s goals is to make travel less lonely. So we’ve developed an app that addresses the limitations of other social networking apps by making it easier to connect with travellers - wherever you go.
• Find out who is in your area
• Meet awesome people to share your travel experiences
• Get tips & answers to your questions when you need them
• Make friends all over the world and keep in touch
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“Loved using the app to connect with other backpackers in the same spot as me which meant we could share some meals and travel stories together” – Nikki Spiconardi
“Awesome way to know what to do when you get to a new place and what is simply over-rated and should be avoided!” – John Ley
“You can get great insider knowledge on your travel destination with this app. It’s not just promoting the top 10 trip advisor lists, but giving you up to date local recommendations from other travellers in real-time” – Joe Sipos

ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS
HerePin has been designed and created by HerePin Inc., an Auckland, New Zealand based app startup founded by Mark Bardi and Greg Elisara.
A few years ago, Mark quit his tech job in San Francisco, sold everything he owned, and embarked on a solo backpacking trip around the world. For nearly 500 days, he carried all of his possessions in a 44 litre Osprey pack. No smartphone. No computer. No iPad. Without any technology to consume his attention, he finally had the time to notice how much the world had changed. Every traveller was carrying a smart phone, SIM cards were virtually free, prepaid plans were affordable, and WiFi was available nearly everywhere. Yet despite all these modern conveniences, he noticed two gaps in the tourism market; travelling can be lonely at times and it can still be hard to find out what is happening around you. With these two problems in mind, Mark and Greg created HerePin.
