Connected with a few guys through Nomax and we ended up doing a fantastic food tour, sampling all the local Black Sea delicacies. Couldn't have done it without the app.
I was hesitant about solo travel, but Nomax helped me meet a fellow traveler on my first day. We ended up spending the whole week together, discovering hidden gems like the Museum of Smuggling!
