Hey there. Welcome to Sorom.

If you’re reading this, you probably love travel. Maybe you’ve taken a few trips and caught the bug. Maybe you dream about exploring new places but something’s been holding you back. Or maybe you travel all the time and you’re always looking for ways to make it better.

Whatever brought you here, we’re glad you found us.

We started Sorom because we believe travel should be one of the best parts of life. And honestly? We think the way most people travel could be so much better.

Let us explain.

Why We’re Obsessed with Travel

Travel changes people. Seriously, we know this because its changed all of us at Sorom.

There’s something about landing in a place where you don’t know anyone, where the signs are in a different language, where everything is unfamiliar, and then figuring it out anyway. It builds confidence. It opens your mind. It reminds you how big and beautiful and weird the world actually is.

Some of our best memories happened on the road. Getting lost in a tourist-free Moroccan medina. Making friends with strangers at a hostel in Vietnam who we still talk to years later. Watching the sunrise over Machu Picchu and crying a little because it was just that beautiful, or randomly running across that long, lost friend in the last city you expected them to be in.

We’ve also had the other kind of travel moments. The lonely ones. The scary ones. The “this would be so much better if I had people to share the experience with” ones.

And that’s what got us thinking.

The Problem No One Was Really Solving

Here’s what we kept running into (and maybe you have too):

Solo travel is amazing, but it can also be isolating. You want the freedom to do your own thing, but eating dinner alone every night gets old. You want to share experiences, but your friends back home don’t quite get it.

Finding travel companions is weirdly hard. Your best friend might be terrible to travel with. Your schedule might not match anyone else’s. And meeting random people from the internet to travel with? That feels sketchy.

Travel planning is fragmented. You’re juggling ten different apps, three browser tabs, a shared Google Doc that nobody updates, and group chats that never reach decisions.

Safety is always in the back of your mind. Especially if you’re traveling solo. Especially in unfamiliar places. You want to be adventurous, but you also want to come home.

We looked around for something that solved all of this. A platform that understood that travel is social, that safety matters, that finding the right people to travel with is just as important as finding the right destination.

We didn’t find it.

So we built it.

What Sorom Actually Is

Sorom is a travel platform built around one core idea: travel is better when you’re connected.

Connected to compatible travel companions. Connected to tools that make planning easier. Connected to safety features that let you explore with confidence.

Here’s what we’ve built:

ConneXions: Personality-Based Travel Matching

Think of it like finding a roommate, but for adventures. You take a quick assessment about your travel style, personality, and preferences. We match you with people who are actually compatible, not just people going to the same place at the same time.

Because sharing a trip with someone who wakes up at dawn when you sleep until noon? Recipe for disaster. We help you avoid that.

Collaborative Trip Planning

Plan trips with your travel companions in one place. Shared itineraries. Price Check for better deals. Everyone on the same page. No more endless group chats trying to make decisions.

Maya – AI Travel Advisor

Need help planning? Maya is your AI travel advisor, available to Monthly and Annual subscribers. Tell her where you want to go and what you like, and she’ll build itineraries, suggest restaurants, find activities, and manage your trip, and all through natural conversation. She even learns your preferences over time.

Price Check

Found a great hotel deal? Submit it through Price Check and our travel agents will match or beat it. Works for hotels, transfers, and packages. It’s like having a travel agent in your pocket.

Safety Features That Actually Help

We take safety seriously. GPS check-ins so someone knows you’re okay. Emergency contacts who can be alerted if something goes wrong. Identity verification so you know who you’re meeting. Meetup verification PINs so you can confirm it’s actually your travel companion showing up.

We built these because we’ve felt that nervousness ourselves. We want you to explore boldly knowing you have backup.

A Real Travel Community

Journals to document your adventures. Stories from other travelers to inspire your next trip. A community that gets it, because everyone here shares the same love for exploring.

Why We Think This Matters

Travel is one of the most transformative things you can do. Studies show it makes people happier, more creative, more empathetic, more resilient. We believe everyone deserves access to those benefits.

But too often, travel is held back by obstacles that shouldn’t exist:

  • Fear of going alone
  • Not knowing anyone with the same travel bug
  • Fear of reaching out to strangers at a new destination
  • The hassle of planning and coordinating
  • Safety concerns that feel overwhelming

We’re building Sorom to remove those obstacles. To make it easier for anyone to travel: solo, with new friends, with groups. To make travel more connected, more social, more human.

Because the best travel memories usually involve other people. The random conversation that turned into a lifelong friendship. The local who showed you the secret beach. The travel companion who pushed you to try that local food that you never would have done alone.

Those moments don’t happen when you’re isolated. They happen when you’re connected.

Where We’re Going

This is just the beginning.

We’re constantly building, improving, listening. Our roadmap includes more destination features, better planning tools, deeper community connections, new ways to travel, opening up new destinations that go unnoticed, and partnerships with travel services that share our values.

But the heart of Sorom will always stay the same: making travel better by making it more connected.

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
