Park with people, not just places.
Vanderlust connects nomads, van-lifers, and travelers on the road.
See who's on the road near you
The map shows where the community is right now, as counts per area, so you know whether you're alone out there or ten minutes from a campfire. Zoom out and see all of Europe, zoom in and see your region.
Swipe to meet fellow nomads
Discover shows travelers near you with their rig, interests and how far away they are. Wave to say hi as a friend, or like if you're open to more. When it's mutual, you're connected.
Chat and plan the meetup
Message your connections, share a location, plan where to meet. Once you're connected, friends can choose to show each other where they are on the map.
Set up in a minute. Free.
Profile, your rig, your interests. That's all it takes. Then see who's on the road near you and say hi. Vanderlust is free, and your exact position is never shown to anyone by default.

Van lifers, RVers, overlanders, digital nomads and road trippers. Solo, as a couple, or with a dog in the passenger seat.
The map shows how many travelers are in each area right now. In Discover you swipe through people near you, with their rig, interests and distance. Wave to say hi as a friend, or like if you're open to more. When it's mutual, you can chat and plan the meetup.
Yes. Every profile can be reported and every user blocked, from the profile or from a chat, and reports are reviewed by a person. You can hide yourself in Discover at any time. Your exact position is never shown to other users by default. Only connections you've accepted can see it, and only if you turn that on.
Vanderlust is built for people who move, unlike Tinder or Bumble which assume you're rooted in one place. Most people here are looking for friends and travel company. If you're open to more, say so in your profile and you'll only see others who are too.
Vanderlust requires an internet connection to discover nearby travelers, send messages, and update your location. However, cached profiles and previous conversations are available offline.
Not unless you want them to. What others see on the map is a count per area, roughly 25 km across, never a pin on a person. Connections can see your position only if you turn location sharing on, and you can turn it off again anytime.
No. There are plenty of apps to find where to park. Vanderlust is the one to find who to park with. Use it alongside your favorite spot app.
