Wayfare, available as an iOS and Android app, takes you on an exciting journey of exploration and cultural discovery.

Each week, the Wayfare app pairs you with a local guide – the app features guides from 113 countries around the world, guides that speak more than a dozen languages. For a week, you and the local guide will have to complete daily photo missions and thus share photos, comments and culture.

Traveling the world is quite exciting – you get to see dream locations, you get to uncover exciting new locations, you get to explore the local culture. The thing is that you may not have the time or the money to go and explore the world. And this is where the Wayfare app comes in. This app transforms your iPhone or Android into a fun means of exploring the world and immersing yourself in new cultural experiences.

Wayfare App – A New Friend as Your Local Guide

After you set up your profile and select a country you would like to visit, Wayfare will match you with a local guide.



Each week, Wayfare will introduce you to a new local guide. This new guide, your new friend, will help you explore a new part of the world via your iPhone or Android. When the week is up, the guide goes into your list of friends and you can pick another guide and explore another part of the world.

The Wayfare app features local guides from 113 countries around the world – US, UK, Norway, Spain and more. These local guides speak over 13 languages. But language is not a barrier! If the guide speaks a different language from your own, you can use the built-in translation capabilities.



Wayfare App – Embark on Daily Photo Missions

You and your local guide will get to embark on daily photo missions. This way you will get to go on countless journeys and experience places you’ve always dreamt of visiting as well as places you never knew existed.



You and your guide will get to share images that capture your surroundings, your culture, and your life. You will get a peek into your new friend’s life (which reminds me of the 20 Day Stranger app).



Get Wayfare for iOS from Apple’s App Store.
Get Wayfare for Android from Google Play.
