Filter by trip style and city
Narrow to solo, couple, backpacker, digital nomad, or luxury. Add the cities you actually plan to visit in Armenia, not every city in the country. Tighter filters beat wide filters for match-to-travel conversion.
- 4
Swipe and match
Spend 5 minutes swiping on traveler cards. Each card shows overlap days, city overlap, and trip style. Match only with people whose overlap is at least 4 days, otherwise you'll end up in chat that never converts to a meet-up.

Plan the first 48 hours together
Once matched, agree on one thing for the first two days. Splitting the airport transfer is the most common opener on Armenia trips, so suggest a shared booking. From there the trip plans itself.
