Before Your Trip
- Add a Travel Plan on Swingular to broadcast your trip to locals
- Start messaging people in that area 2-4 weeks before arriving
- Search for couples and singles in your destination city
- Research lifestyle clubs, events, or takeovers during your stay
- Be clear about your timeline—"visiting [city] from [date] to [date]"
Setting Expectations
Travel connections have unique dynamics:
- You have limited time, so vetting happens faster
- Locals may be wary of tourists (hit-and-run reputation)
- Be flexible with timing—you're fitting into their schedule
- Consider whether you want one-time or ongoing travel connections
Making It Work
Video Chat Before Arriving
Since you won't have time for extended messaging, video calls before your trip help establish connection and verify everyone quickly.
Confirm Plans
Reconfirm any planned meetings as your trip approaches. People's schedules change, and you don't want surprises after arriving.
Have Backup Plans
Plans fall through. Have multiple possibilities lined up, or be okay with your trip being just a vacation if connections don't work out.
Use Travel Plans & Events
Swingular's Travel Plans feature lets you broadcast your upcoming trips to locals in your destination—they'll see you're coming and can reach out. Also check the Events listing for club nights, takeovers, and meet-and-greets happening during your stay.
