The problem TrekMate solves

Many solo travelers face challenges in finding companions for their adventures, while others struggle to access reliable reviews and suggestions for trip planning. Additionally, guides and organizers often lack a platform to connect with potential participants and sponsors for their trips.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge we may encounter is ensuring the safety and reliability of connections made between solo travelers and companions. Since the app facilitates meeting strangers for travel, we must implement robust safety measures and verification processes to mitigate potential risks and ensure a secure environment for all users. This may include identity verification, user ratings and reviews, real-time location tracking, and emergency assistance features. Additionally, we need to establish clear community guidelines and protocols for users to follow, promoting responsible behavior and communication within the platform. Overcoming this challenge will be crucial to building trust and credibility among our user base and ensuring the success and sustainability of the TrekMate platform.
