The Single Traveller
Traditional online dating sites are currently the only things on the web that are geared solely towards single people. Whilst these are OK for anyone interested in dating, their usage pretty much ends there. This was one of the main things that Earthrumble wanted to address this when they created their online community for singles.
Travelling was once something that was limited to gap year students and eternal free spirits. It wasn’t seen as a thing for ‘grown ups’ to do once they had found their careers and ‘settled down’. As attitudes change people are realising that they can pick up and jet off at any age in search of an adventure. The usual considerations still apply, “Can I afford it?” “Where shall I go?” and of course “Who shall I go with?” For a single person with friends in relationships, the final question can be somewhat of a puzzler.
Travelbug was set up by Earthrumble with exactly this in mind. For no extra cost, verified Earthrumble members can place an ad on Travelbug looking for people to travel with. They can post their ideal destination, when they want to go and what kind of group they’d like to get together.
Travelbug is part of Earthrumble’s overall aim to create an online community that complements all aspects of a single persons live, not just the fact that they are not in a relationship. Yes, single people want to go online to find a date- Earthrumble have not ignored this . Their optional Connect membership allows users to identify other members who are interested in dating. However, single people are also interesting in finding others to travel with, people to share a flat with or maybe even go to a gig with.
Earthrumble’s Travelbug launches on Sunday 20th March
