Meaningful connections, not small talk with strangers passing through.

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.

A calmer way to build a real circle wherever you land.

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.

Everything for meeting people, nothing for scrolling.

See what's happening nearby

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.

Host your own in minutes

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.

Coordinate in group chat

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.

Profiles built around substance

Your profession, languages, interests and the places you love, not your best angle. People connect over what they actually have in common.

Trust built in

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.

Your circle moves with you

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.

This is not a dating app.

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.

  • Built for friendship, coworking and community, not romance.
  • No swiping, no matching, no "hot or not." You join real plans.
  • Meetups are groups by default. You show up to something, not to someone.
  • Behaviour that treats it like a dating app is against our community guidelines.

For anyone building a life away from where they started.

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.

Digital nomads

Working from a new city every few weeks and tired of starting from zero each time you land.

Remote workers & expats

Settled somewhere new for months or years, and wanting a real local circle beyond coworkers.

Long-term travellers

On the road solo and looking for genuine company: people to share the place with, not just pass by.

From new in town to a full week of plans.

1

Set your city

Tell us where you are. Everything you see is happening around you, right now.

2

Build your profile

Share what you do, what you're into and the languages you speak: the things that spark real conversation.

3

Join or host a meetup

Find a plan that fits, or create your own. Sort out the details in the group chat.

4

Show up and connect

Meet in person, rate the experience, and grow a circle that moves with you.

A safe environment is the whole point.

Meeting new people should feel good, not risky. These aren't afterthoughts. They're how the community stays healthy.

You control who reaches you

Decide who can message you and who can see your profile, full name, location and social links. Share only what you're comfortable sharing.

Ratings after you meet

A simple thumbs up or down after each meetup keeps the community accountable and surfaces the people worth knowing.

Report & block, easily

Anyone can be reported or blocked in a couple of taps. We review reports and act on them.

No location tracking

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.

Clear community guidelines

Everyone agrees to the same standards of respect and safety. Break them and you're out.

Your data, your call

Export or permanently delete your account and everything in it, at any time, from inside the app.

Good to know.

Is Nomad Connect really not a dating app?

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.

What does it cost?

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.

When can I use it?

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.

How do you keep it safe?

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.

Do I have to host meetups?

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.

What about my data and privacy?

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.
