Are you tired of backpacking solo, but don't want to travel with just anyone? There's a new social travel site that just launched to help you find your perfect nomadic companion.
Unlike other travel sites that simply give you access to photos and text put up by the person in question, Perfect Travel Partner Pairer allows you to really get to know your potential travel partner -- no secrets withheld. The site's special state-of-the-art technology uses social media, satellite capabilities, smell sensors and 24-hour satellite camera and GPS integration. Moreover, there are no privacy settings, allowing users to access all the necessary details to safely make the right decision when choosing a travel buddy.
The process starts by filling out a simple profile. Users enter standard information like name, contact details, social security number, bank account information, health records and an upload of their school transcript. This will help answer vital questions for users, like how likely the person is to catch a disease that could put a damper on the trip, how cheap they will probably be, if they know any foreign languages that could be helpful or if they're just so stupid they'll drive you crazy. Along with the text, users are required to upload a headshot, body shot and photos of their parents. Hey, if they're potential relationship material too, you need to know what you're working with.
Perfect Travel Partner Pairer also features a GPS chip and satellite camera that follows users around 24/7, giving a genuine sense of what the person is really like. Furthermore, smell sensors allow for gauging just how bad things can get when they're backpacking and not showering daily.
Launched last month, the site has already perfectly paired more than 50 happy travel couples. While it has also led to 22 arrests, the figures show the odds of being perfectly matched are on your side.
