Set Merlo as your anchor city and lock your dates
Pick Merlo, Argentina as an anchor city and set arrival and departure. 7 nights is the typical overlap window here, so if you can stretch your trip to at least that you widen the match pool meaningfully.
- 3
Filter by trip style
Narrow to solo, couple, backpacker, digital nomad, or luxury. In Merlo the most common pairing is two couples, so leave those match filters open unless you have a strong preference.

Swipe and match
Spend 5 minutes swiping on traveler cards. Each card shows overlap days, neighborhood overlap, and trip style. Match only with people whose overlap is at least 5 days, otherwise you end up in chat that never converts to a meet-up.
