Vanderlust: Find who to park with
There are plenty of apps to find where to park. Vanderlust is the one to find who to park with.
Vanderlust is a free app for van lifers, overlanders and digital nomads to find each other on the road. A live map shows how many travelers are around you, Discover lets you swipe through people nearby, and once you connect you can chat and plan where to meet. Friends, travel buddies or something more, you choose.
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 the whole world, 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 the meetup. Once you're connected, friends can choose to show each other where they are on the map.
YOUR PROFILE AND YOUR RIG
Show your van, camper, RV, bus, truck or whatever you call home, plus your travel style and interests. Add where you're heading next so people on the same route can find you.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your exact position is never shown to other users by default. What others see on the map is a count per area, roughly 25 km across, never a pin on a person. Only connections you have accepted can see your position, and only if you turn that on yourself. You decide how far you're visible in Discover, you can hide yourself completely at any time, and you can turn off online status. No ads, and we never sell your data.
SAFETY AND ZERO TOLERANCE
Every profile can be reported and every user can be blocked, from the profile or from a chat. Reports are reviewed by a person. We have zero tolerance for harassment, abuse or disrespect. Break that and you're out.
VANDERLUST PRO
Optional. Unlimited swipes, see who waved or liked you, and unlimited stops in the route planner. Everything else is free.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Who is Vanderlust for?
Van lifers, RVers, overlanders, digital nomads and road trippers. Solo, as a couple, or with a dog in the passenger seat.
Is it a dating app or a friends app?
Both. 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.
Can other users see where I am?
Not unless you want them to. By default nobody sees your position. Connections can see it only if you turn location sharing on, and you can turn it off again anytime.
Is Vanderlust free?
Yes. Vanderlust is free to download and use. Pro is an optional upgrade.
Download Vanderlust and find who's on the road near you. The open road is calling, and you don't have to travel it alone.
