You can meet people so easily and in a trustful way. We were four girls, from French, German and American backgrounds, without knowing each other from before. We spent an amazing week together, km driving, camping on the way.
We saw kangaroos, koalas, penguins and pelicans". We spent 14 days of straight exploring, hiking, eating and drinking. I met Amaia and immediately decided to road-trip together.
We're spending 10 days together and it's great because we have so much in common. Friends and families are not always available to travel with, and sometimes the interests do not align for travel.
Or sometimes you just want to socialize while still being solo most of the time. GAFFL helps with that! Another thing that holds people back is the perceived cost of travel. I think this is a fabulous idea because the things that can get expensive while solo traveling can usually also be easily split between people. If car rental is the cheapest way to get around a destination, it would be ideal to have others to split the costs with. But most importantly it always makes the experience that much more memorable when you have new friends to share it with.
We truly believe that the best memories and experiences are the ones that are shared with others. Making connections and becoming friends with people all over the world is such a powerful tool to have when traveling. Some of the best trips happen when you have a friend playing tour guide in their country. GAFFL is a really cool opportunity to enrich your travels with like-minded people who will push you to get out of your comfort zone.
