Tourlina App Review: Safe Travel Companions for Solo Female Travelers
Solo travel offers incredible freedom and personal growth, but it isn't without challenges—especially for women. As an experienced solo female traveler, I've often sought compatible partners who share my love for adventure, or opted for group tours or going alone.
I frequently travel solo, yet I admit it's not always fully comfortable. Recently, on a Mediterranean cruise with a stop in Istanbul amid travel warnings and a recent bombing, I was grateful to explore with fellow passengers.
While solo exploration is rewarding, connecting with new people enriches the experience. Over years of travel, I've formed lasting friendships that led to shared itineraries worldwide.
The biggest hurdle? Finding partners with matching interests. I prefer outdoor activities over museums or long meals, but companions don't always align.
That's why I was excited when Tourlina's founder reached out about their app tailored for solo female travelers—perfect for discovering like-minded women.
What is Tourlina?
Tourlina connects adventure-seeking women worldwide, creating a safe space for solo female travelers to find verified companions or groups.
How It Works
Download the free app and sign in via Facebook (no other options like email or Google). This ensures user validation, preventing fake accounts, though it may deter those avoiding Facebook integration.
Post-sign-in, search for companions, but verification (typically 48 hours via Facebook check) is required to chat or appear in searches, per the FAQ.
The intuitive interface suits all users. Use 'Plan a Trip' to enter destinations, dates, and preferences: planned vs. spontaneous, nightlife frequency, hostels, camping, and more.
Key Features
Tourlina matches based on preferences, Tinder-style: swipe past or chat with profiles showing age, photo, and bio snippets. Complete your bio for better connections.
Areas for Growth
Launched in November 2015, Tourlina's user base is growing. Offbeat destinations or specific dates may yield few matches—ideal for flexible travelers. Currently iOS-only; Android version planned for November.
Final Thoughts
Tourlina excels at linking like-minded female travelers safely. Exercise caution in online interactions and meetups, as with any app.
Well-designed and promising, it's a go-to once the community expands. Solo women, connect via Tourlina today!
