The 'Paired' App Connects Travelers with Savvy Locals
Michael Hemsworth — September 25, 2018 — Tech
Traveling to a new city usually means getting tips from friends and online forums but can lead you to still feel unsure of the best things to do once you get there, so the 'Paired' app is positioned as a better way to connect with others when traveling.
The app works for travelers as a social network to help them share the best tips, tricks and sights in a specific region, while also helping them to connect with locals. This aids travelers in their quest to have the most authentic experience possible when traveling and give community members a way to support visitors.
The 'Paired' app also rewards contributors with points every time they help others out, which helps to gamify the experience for users.
