Tinder or Playsee, which is better to meet people when you travel?

You are going to travel abroad and, with all your planning done, you are missing the most important thing: the company And there is nothing like traveling to another place, inside or outside your country, and having a local take you to the best places. Or discover corners that do not appear in the guides or on the Internet pages. And if you carry a love story in your pocket, the trip can be totally an achievement.

Tinder is usually the first choice for this.And it is that, once in the place, you can discover new people for all kinds of plans. It even allows you to advance this contact with locals thanks to the travel function. But there are other alternatives like Playsee. A kind of social network for travelers looking to share and contact other people. We took a look at both options to draw our own conclusions.

On Tinder

The social network for flirting has many more practical applications than what is usually given on Sunday afternoons. And it is that, in addition to finding love or sexual partners, it is a good tool to meet people near your location Do not forget that it works by GPS, and that You can restrict the area of ​​the profiles you want to know to a safe distance around your person. This is why you can take advantage of it when traveling.

That is, if you travel to a different city and choose an area of ​​influence of 5km, for example, you will come across the profiles of that urban center in which you are.If you're lucky and get a match, you just have to develop your charms or try to create an appointment to meet some interesting place.

The strong point is in the Gold or paid version of Tinder And it is that, with it, you can not only specify the distance of influence, but you can also travel to other places virtually. In other words, you can plant yourself in another city in your country, or even in any other part of the world, and meet people from that place. This feature is called Passport, and it allows you to drag your location to other places. If you are planning a trip, you can make appointments before you get there thanks to this feature. Of course, you will have to spend money for it.

The good thing about having Tinder Gold and Passport is that you can also find out which people have liked your profile. Thus, even if you don't feel a special feeling or you missed the profile, you can connect with him or her for a friendship plan.But, again, you will have to scratch your pocket. Specifically, Tinder Gold has a subscription price of 30 euros per month, with discounts if you choose the 6 or 12-month plans.

In Playsee

This is a different application. He does not look so much for the romantic or flirt aspect, but for discovering the world. It has a clear focus for the most travelers, but it can also help you enormously in finding people: either to discover the area or to travel in company, for example . It is very reminiscent of the origins of Foursquare, although it is more adapted to current times.

You only have to create a profile to come across the world map. Here you will see a good part of the users who are already present in this kind of network social geolocationThe interesting thing is that you can move freely around the world to find places and people. And here you do not have to scratch your pocket at any time. You will be able to see restaurants, parks, leisure areas and other places where you can consult photos, ratings and comments. Interesting to use as a guide. But you will also see user avatars.

You can take advantage of the avatars to see what stories (such as those on Instagram) are shared by those people in the places they have been. This way you will not only discover these corners and activities, but you will also be able to meet the users. And, if you follow them, you can send a message with queries, doubts or proposals

The negative point of Playsee is that, for the moment, it is a very young application. There is a lack of content and active users But it is a very interesting approach for those who travel alone or for those who want to connect with local people willing to share their knowledge about an area.
