Problem
Travelers often receive valuable local tips from friends through fragmented channels such as direct messages, separate Google Maps lists, or handwritten notes, making it difficult to quickly locate and act on those recommendations while on the move.
Solution
Roam Club is a mobile application that consolidates friends’ travel suggestions onto a shared, interactive map. Users can sync their contacts or search for friends by name or handle, then follow them to automatically display each friend’s saved spots. Adding a recommendation requires only a few taps, allowing users to tag a location and include a brief note that instantly appears on their network’s maps. Creators, influencers, and hospitality hosts can publish curated recommendation lists for followers or guests, streamlining discovery of local attractions, restaurants, and experiences. The platform is available on iOS and Android, providing a portable, purpose‑built tool for real‑time travel planning.
Target Audience
Primary users are frequent travelers and remote workers who rely on peer advice, as well as content creators, influencers, and hospitality businesses (e.g., B&Bs, Airbnbs, hotels) that want to share local tips with guests.
