Set Salzburg as your anchor city and lock your dates
Pick Salzburg, Austria as an anchor city and set arrival and departure. 5 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 Salzburg the most common pairing is a small group, 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 3 days, otherwise you end up in chat that never converts to a meet-up.
