Find your travel partner on Telegram
TravelBFF matches you with travel companions and trip buddies around the world. Find someone to travel with, plan trips together, meet travellers nearby — and never explore alone unless you want to.
What is TravelBFF?
TravelBFFis a free Telegram mini app that connects travellers who want company. Whether you're planning a two-week trip across Japan, looking for someone to split a hostel in Bali, or just want a hangout with travellers in your city tonight — you'll find your match here. No new app and no new account: it runs inside the Telegram you already use.
How it works
Three steps from solo to travelling with someone who fits your trip.
Open it in Telegram
TravelBFF runs right inside Telegram — no download, no new account. Tap once and you're in.
Match with travellers
Tell us where and when you're going. We match you with companions on the same route and dates.
Plan the trip together
Chat safely, agree on a plan, split the costs, and turn a solo trip into a shared adventure.
Everything TravelBFF does
One app for the whole journey — from finding people to planning the trip.
Travel companion matching
Tell us where and when you're going — TravelBFF matches you with travellers on the same route and dates, filtered by the interests that matter to you.
Trips & group chats
Create a trip or join an existing one. Every trip gets its own group chat to plan together — and you can make it private or women-only.
Nearby travellers & hangouts
See travellers around you and create or join a hangout — a quick local meetup for a coffee, a walk, or a night out.
AI Travel Planner
Ask the built-in assistant to suggest destinations, build an itinerary, or answer any travel question on the spot.
Explore destinations
Country and interest guides, trending trips by region, and the travellers heading there — discover where to go next.
Posts & local guides
Share travel posts and local tips, and read what other travellers already know about a place.
Safety & privacy
Built to travel with peace of mind
Meeting new people should feel safe. TravelBFF is designed that way from the ground up.
Women-only options

Encrypted chat
Messages are end-to-end encrypted and conversations stay on Telegram.
City-level location
Only your city is ever shared — your exact GPS is never stored.

Profiles are moderated, and you can report or block anyone, anytime.
