Overview
Travel Pal puts tourists, locals, and people travelling for work on one live map, so wherever you land you already know who is worth meeting.
You can line the trip up before you go: set a destination and dates, then match with people who will be there at the same time. Families can match with other families whose children are a similar age.
I built it in Flutter, shipping iOS and Android from a single codebase, with the map running on OpenStreetMap.
