Tablamigo › Travel buddy app
The travel buddy app for tonight, not someday
Tablamigo is a solo travel app that finds you company nearby: dinners, drinks, day trips and coworking plans posted by other travelers. Join one with a tap, or post your own.
What a travel buddy app should do
Most solo travelers aren't looking for a pen pal. They want someone to share a taxi to the ruins with, or a table for street food at 7. A good travel buddy app gets you from stranger to plan quickly, and keeps you safe while you do it.
That's the idea behind Tablamigo: plans first, profiles second. You see what people are actually doing near you, and you decide what to join.
How to meet travelers with Tablamigo
- Open the map. See plans from travelers around you, with who's going and roughly how far away they are.
- Join or post a plan. Tap join and you're in the group chat. Or post "I want to…" and let people come to you.
- Agree the details in the chat. Use a poll to pick the time or place, then meet somewhere busy and public.
- Add your next trip. See who'll be in the same city on the same dates, so you land with plans already made.

Other good ways to meet travelers
An app works best alongside the classics. These are the places solo travelers have always met each other:
- Hostel events. Family dinners, pub crawls and walking tours, even if you're not staying there.
- Free walking tours. Two hours with a group is an easy start, and people often grab lunch after.
- Group day trips and treks. Hikes, boat trips and tours are cheaper and more fun shared.
- Coworking spaces and cafés, if you're working on the road.
- Classes. Cooking, surfing, salsa or a language exchange.
On Tablamigo you'll often find these posted as plans, so you can go with people instead of turning up alone.
Meeting people safely
- Meet in busy public places, not a private home or hotel room.
- Keep the conversation in the app until you're comfortable, so you can report it if something goes wrong.
- Tell a friend where you're going, and get yourself there and back.
- Never send money to someone you met in the app.

Questions
What is a travel buddy app?
A travel buddy app helps you find other travelers to do things with, like sharing a meal, a day trip or a night out. Tablamigo does this with plans: travelers post what they want to do nearby, and others join with a tap and chat in a group.
How do I meet other travelers when I'm traveling alone?
Join something that's already happening. Open Tablamigo to see plans near you and join one, or post your own. Hostel events, free walking tours, group day trips and classes are other easy ways to meet people.
Can I find a travel buddy before my trip?
Yes. Add your trip to Tablamigo and see who'll be in the same city on the same dates. Free accounts see 3 people overlapping each trip; Plus shows everyone.
Is Tablamigo free?
Yes. Joining plans, posting 2 plans a day, group chats, direct messages and city chats are free. Tablamigo Plus adds more plans, all trip overlaps and earlier city chats. It's planned from $7.99 a week, pricing may vary by country, and Google Play shows the price before you pay.
Is Tablamigo a dating app?
No. Tablamigo is for finding company for real activities like food, drinks, sightseeing, sport and coworking. Plans are usually groups, and anything that turns a plan into something else can be reported.
Is it safe to meet people from a travel app?
Most people are just travelers looking for company, but take the same care you would anywhere: meet in busy public places, keep chats in the app, tell a friend where you're going and trust your gut. Tablamigo is 18+ only, never shows your exact location, and has photo verification, chat moderation, reporting and blocking.
Is Tablamigo available on iPhone?
