Your passport is a personality test

The countries you actually visited, the ones you went back to, and the places nobody else in your friend group has heard of. That says more about you than any bio.

How it works for travellers

Connect your accounts. TripIt, Google Maps Timeline, Polarsteps, Tripadvisor - we pull your destinations, trip frequency, travel style, and duration patterns. Your exact locations and itineraries stay private. Only lifestyle signals are used.

The matching engine understands travel at multiple levels:

Obscure destinations score higher

Everyone has been to Barcelona. NicheWeight for Spain? About 0.15. But both having visited Uzbekistan?

Mainstream
Spain
Tourist rank 2 → NicheWeight 0.15
Niche
Uzbekistan
Tourist rank 92 → NicheWeight 0.93

Repeat visits reveal real love. Visiting a country once is curiosity. Going back 3 times is identity. The algorithm treats repeat visits as an engagement signal - the travel equivalent of re-reading a book or re-watching a film.

What gets scored

Shared destinations weighted by tourism rank - both visiting Kyrgyzstan scores far higher than both visiting France
Travel style alignment - backpackers with backpackers, resort-goers with resort-goers, van-lifers with van-lifers
Trip frequency - how often you travel, whether it is 6 trips a year or one big annual adventure
Duration preferences - weekend city breaks vs month-long backpacking trips are very different lifestyles
Budget alignment - hostels vs hotels, street food vs restaurants. Practical compatibility for actually travelling together
Repeat destinations - going back to the same place signals it is part of your identity, not just a tick on a list
Region affinity - Southeast Asia vs Scandinavia vs Sub-Saharan Africa. Where you gravitate reveals values and interests

Your boarding pass for two

"You have both visited 3 countries in Central Asia, your travel frequency is within 1 trip per year of each other, you both average 2+ week trips, and your budget brackets overlap 91%. Your shared destination rarity score is in the top 5%."

Not "you both like travelling." The actual trip data.

The algorithm understands wanderlust

It knows the difference between someone who has visited 40 countries across 6 continents and someone who goes to the same Greek island every summer. Both are valid - but they are fundamentally different travel identities.

The cross-category signal is powerful too: if you both attended a food festival in Oaxaca (events) and both have Mexican restaurants saved on Beli (food), those signals compound with the travel overlap.
