Nomad Connect helps digital nomads, remote workers and people living abroad meet real people in their city, through in-person meetups built around who you are and what you do.
What Nomad Connect is
Moving to a new city, or living out of a suitcase, is exciting, but making genuine friends is hard. Nomad Connect is a place to host and join small, in-person meetups: a coffee, a coworking session, a hike, a dinner. You meet people who are in the same city, at the same time, looking for the same thing: connection, not a contact list.
Why people use it
Browse meetups on a live map of your city. Find something to join today, or plan for the week. No endless feeds, just plans you can actually show up to.
Set a title, place, time and group size, then let people join. Whether it's two people or twelve, you decide who and how many.
Every meetup gets its own chat so the people who are actually going can sort out the details, and start talking before you even arrive.
Your profession, languages, interests and the places you love, not your best angle. People connect over what they actually have in common.
Rate the people you meet, control who can reach you, and report or block anyone who doesn't belong. Communities stay good when members shape them.
Land in a new city and pick up where you left off. The same app, the same community ethos, wherever remote work takes you next.
Let's be clear
Nomad Connect exists to help people build friendships and community abroad, over coffee, work, food and shared interests. It is deliberately designed so that nobody has to wonder what the other person is really here for.
Everyone joins for the same reason: to meet good people in a place they're new to.
Who it's for
If you've felt the strange loneliness of a great city where you don't yet know a single person, this was built for you.
Working from a new city every few weeks and tired of starting from zero each time you land.
Settled somewhere new for months or years, and wanting a real local circle beyond coworkers.
On the road solo and looking for genuine company: people to share the place with, not just pass by.
How it works
Tell us where you are. Everything you see is happening around you, right now.
Share what you do, what you're into and the languages you speak: the things that spark real conversation.
Find a plan that fits, or create your own. Sort out the details in the group chat.
Meet in person, rate the experience, and grow a circle that moves with you.
Safety & trust
Meeting new people should feel good, not risky. These aren't afterthoughts. They're how the community stays healthy.
Decide who can message you and who can see your profile, full name, location and social links. Share only what you're comfortable sharing.
A simple thumbs up or down after each meetup keeps the community accountable and surfaces the people worth knowing.
Anyone can be reported or blocked in a couple of taps. We review reports and act on them.
We use your approximate location to show what's nearby, and that's it. We don't store a history of where you've been.
Everyone agrees to the same standards of respect and safety. Break them and you're out.
Export or permanently delete your account and everything in it, at any time, from inside the app.
Founding members
Nomad Connect is new, and that's the opportunity. Founding members don't join a finished product; they set the tone for their city. Your early meetups, your standards and your feedback become the culture everyone who follows steps into.

Questions
Correct. It's built for friendship, community and coworking. There's no swiping or matching, meetups are group-first, and using it to pursue romance goes against our community guidelines. Everyone is here to meet good people in a place they're new to.
Founding members join free while we're getting started. If we introduce paid features later, they'll be clearly optional, and the core of meeting people will always be accessible.
We're opening city by city. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out with your invite as soon as we open your area. Founding members get in first.
You control who can contact you and what you share, you can rate people after meeting them, and reporting or blocking takes a couple of taps. Everyone agrees to the same community guidelines, and we act on reports. Read more in our community guidelines.
Not at all. Plenty of people only ever join. But hosting is quick, and in a brand-new community the people who create the first few plans get the most out of it.
We don't sell your data, we don't track your location history, and you can export or permanently delete everything at any time. The full details are in our privacy policy.
