(MENAFN- Market Press Release) February 28, 2025 2:28 am - New Platform Connects Solo Travelers Worldwide, Fostering Authentic Connections and Safer, Richer Experiences

Higo, the innovative travel-tech startup, today announced the official launch of Higo: Find Travel Buddy Hi2Go, a groundbreaking app designed to redefine solo travel by connecting adventurers with like-minded explorers and locals. Combining cutting-edge features with a commitment to safety and community, Higo empowers users to“go solo, but never alone,” turning isolation into collaboration and wanderlust into shared memories.

Breaking the Loneliness Barrier
Solo travel is surging, with a 2023 Booking report revealing that 65% of global travelers plan to take a solo trip in the next year. Yet, loneliness remains a pervasive challenge. Higo addresses this gap by offering a seamless platform where users can find travel companions, join groups, and co-create itineraries-all while maintaining full control over their journey.

“Travel should be about discovery, not isolation,” says CEO of Higo.“Higo isn't just an app; it's a movement to reclaim the joy of exploration by fostering genuine human connections. We're bridging cultures, languages, and borders to prove that the best adventures are those shared.”

How Higo Works: Innovation Meets Simplicity
Higo's intuitive interface and robust features cater to modern travelers:
1. Create Your Travel Identity:
Build a verified profile with photos and a bio.
Highlight interests (e.g., hiking, food tours, photography) to match with compatible travelers.
2. Plan & Collaborate:
Post travel dates and destinations to invite others.
Join existing groups or create your own to split costs, brainstorm activities, or share tips.
3. Connect Without Limits:
Built-in translation supports 50+ languages, dissolving communication barriers.
Engage via in-app messaging, likes, and comments on shared“Travel Moments” in the Feed.
4. Safety First:
Verified profiles and secure messaging ensure trusted interactions.
Real-time updates and group moderation tools prioritize user safety.

Why Higo Stands Out
Community-Driven Travel: Higo's algorithm prioritizes shared interests and itineraries, fostering deeper connections than generic meet-up apps.
Flexibility: Users retain autonomy-join a group for a single day or an entire trip.
Local Insights: Connect with locals offering authentic recommendations, from hidden cafes to offbeat trails.
Sustainability: Shared travel reduces carbon footprints by promoting carpooling and group tours.

Availability
Higo is now available for free download on the App Store and Google Play (
