The Story Behind It

After my divorce, I realized I no longer had a dedicated travel partner.
My friends were married or unavailable, and suddenly traveling — something I loved — became harder.

The bigger problem wasn’t traveling alone;
it was finding someone compatible to travel with.

At the same time, trip planning itself was a fragmented experience:

Search hotels in one place

Restaurants somewhere else

Activities on other platforms

Then manually stitch everything into an itinerary

I built TravalPass to solve both problems:

✔️ AI-generated itineraries
✔️ Discover travelers who share your plans
✔️ Chat safely inside the app
✔️ Ratings so you know who’s a good travel partner

TravalPass is built from a deeply personal pain — and it’s designed to help anyone who loves to travel but doesn’t want to do it alone.
