2. 2

   Set Tanjungbalai as your anchor city and lock your dates

   Pick Tanjungbalai, Indonesia as an anchor city and set arrival and departure. 4 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. 3

   Filter by trip style

   Narrow to solo, couple, backpacker, digital nomad, or luxury. In Tanjungbalai the most common pairing is a small group, so leave those match filters open unless you have a strong preference.

4. 4

   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 2 days, otherwise you end up in chat that never converts to a meet-up.

5. 5

   Plan your first shared move in Tanjungbalai

   Once matched, agree on one thing for the first 48 hours. Splitting the tickets is the most common opener in Tanjungbalai — suggest a shared booking, and the rest of the trip plans itself from there.
