Your safety matters
Safety Tips for Travelers
Simple steps that keep every meetup safe and enjoyable
Step 1
Before Meeting
- 01 Get to know the person through in-app chat before agreeing to meet in person
- 02 Check their profile for a verified badge and complete travel history
- 03 Search their name online if they've shared it — a quick check takes 30 seconds
- 04 Trust your instincts — if something feels off about the conversation, don't go
Step 2
During Meetups
- 01 Always meet in public places — cafes, restaurants, busy tourist areas, not private spaces
- 02 Tell a friend or family member exactly where you're going and who you're meeting
- 03 Share your live location with someone you trust for the duration of the meetup
- 04 Keep your phone charged and data on so you're always reachable
- 05 Never leave your drink unattended at a bar or restaurant
