Solo Travel Across 84 Countries with Nomax

Traveling solo is one of the most rewarding things you can do — but it doesn't mean traveling alone. Nomax is a free travel companion app used by solo travelers in 84 countries and 922+ cities worldwide. Whether you're a first-time backpacker nervous about eating alone or a seasoned digital nomad looking for coworking companions, Nomax connects you with the right people at the right time.

Find Travel Companions in Any Country

One of the biggest challenges of solo travel is the social side — arriving in a new city without knowing anyone, trying to find people with similar interests, and figuring out where travelers actually hang out. Nomax solves this at the city level. Open the app, see who else is in your destination, browse profiles, and suggest a meetup. It works in Bangkok just as well as in Berlin or Buenos Aires.

Curated Venues for Every Traveler

Each country page on Nomax links to city directories with curated coworking spaces, hostels, cafes, and bars — all chosen for their traveler-friendly atmosphere. These aren't generic listings; they're the kind of venues where solo travelers actually spend time, work remotely, meet new people, and feel at home in an unfamiliar city.

• Coworking spaces — vetted for internet quality, community, and value for digital nomads
• Hostels — social spots where solo travelers meet organically
• Cafes — laptop-friendly spots with good WiFi and good coffee
• Bars & nightlife — welcoming venues for evening meetups and pub crawls

Why Region Matters for Solo Travel Planning

Solo travel experiences differ significantly by region. Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines) remains the most popular backpacker corridor in the world — affordable, infrastructure-rich, and full of other travelers at every turn. Southern and Western Europe attracts digital nomads to cities like Lisbon, Barcelona, and Berlin for their vibrant coworking scenes and quality of life. South Asia (India, Nepal) and East Asia (Japan, South Korea) offer deeper cultural immersion with well-developed traveler infrastructure in major cities.

Nomax currently covers 84 countries spanning all major travel regions — from the beaches of Southeast Asia to the mountain towns of Central Asia, from the cobbled streets of Southern Europe to the megacities of East Asia. New cities are added regularly as our community grows.

How to Use Nomax in a New Country

When you arrive in a new country, the typical Nomax flow looks like this: download the app (free on iOS and Android), set your current location, and immediately see other solo travelers who are in the same city. Browse profiles to find people with matching travel styles and interests — whether that's hiking, food tours, coworking, nightlife, or sightseeing. Send a chat message, suggest a meetup, and go explore together.
