What is a travel companion app?

A travel companion app helps you find people to travel with — fellow travelers heading to the same place, on the same dates, who actually match your style. Sorom is a travel companion app that pairs personality-based matching with a full safety suite and all-in-one trip planning, so finding a travel buddy and planning the trip happen in one place.

Instead of posting in a forum and hoping, you get a compatibility score for every fellow traveler: 40% personality (from a Big Five quiz), 30% shared activities, and 30% travel style. Match one-on-one, join a group heading the same way, or open Live ConneXions to see who's exploring nearby right now. And alongside 1-on-1 matching, Circles are hosted group activities you can simply join, from coffee meetups to food crawls.

It's free to find travel companions on Sorom, and Free even includes a Maya AI trial. You upgrade when you want daily Maya messages, flight tracking, or identity verification.

Why personality matching?

Proximity tells you who's nearby. Personality tells you who you'll actually enjoy traveling with. Sorom's Big Five quiz matches you on how you like to travel — early riser or night owl, planner or improviser, museum or mountain — so your travel companion feels like a good fit from day one.

How It Works

How to find a travel companion in 4 steps

1. Take the personality quiz

Download Sorom free and complete the short Big Five travel-personality quiz so we can match you with compatible fellow travelers, not random profiles.

2. Set destination & dates

Tell Sorom where and when. ConneXions surfaces travelers heading the same way on overlapping dates so you can plan together.

3. Match by compatibility

Browse fellow travelers with a clear compatibility score. Match one-on-one, join a group, or use Live ConneXions to find people to travel with nearby right now.

4. Verify & explore

Chat in-app, then confirm each other in person with a 6-digit meetup PIN. Share GPS check-ins and keep the panic button handy, so you explore with peace of mind.

Join a Circle

Not every connection has to start one-on-one. Circles are Meetup-style group activities hosted by travelers and locals: coffee meetups, food crawls, museum walks, and more, each with a set time, an exact meeting point, and a spot cap so groups stay a comfortable size.

You'll see Circles on the live map and in ConneXions discovery, so it's easy to find what's happening around you. Joining is free on every plan, whether you're new in town or a local who loves showing people around.

Group plans, zero pressure

Every Circle comes with its own group chat, so you can say hi before you show up. Meet a handful of fellow travelers over coffee, and see where the day goes.

Built for peace of mind

Meeting a fellow traveler should feel safe. Sorom puts verification, real-time check-ins, and one-tap emergency tools in your pocket — the safety suite most companion-finding apps leave out.

Meet fellow travelers with confidence

ID verification — Optional government ID plus a live selfie via Medallion confirms people are who they say they are.

Meetup PIN — A 6-digit mutual code you exchange in person, so you both know you're meeting the right fellow traveler.

GPS check-ins — Auto-alerts up to 5 emergency contacts if you miss two consecutive check-ins.

Panic button — One tap shares your live location with all your emergency contacts and surfaces local emergency services.
