Ever on a trip and wondering who’s nearby? With Who’s Around, you can easily reconnect with old friends or meet friends of friends through your social network.
Each week AskAround curates a personalized list of sites all around the world that we think you will love. The suggestions are based on sites you've already recommended.
We (Charli and Benjamin) met at a coding bootcamp and our new careers in technology quickly fueled their love for travel. Since 2019, combined we've explored 29 countries, always seeking new adventures with friends by our side.
Whenever we plan a trip, our first step is to Ask Around—reaching out to our social circles for the best spots to visit, the must-try restaurants, and the hidden gems you can only find through the grapevine.
Unlike massive travel sites, tips from friends are personal, reliable, and memorable. Unsatisfied with current tools, we created AskAround in the summer of 2024, hoping to make travel planning both fun and easy.

After signing up, you can share and discover travel tips, places to visit, and experiences from your friends. Find the best spots to Eat, Sleep, and Play worldwide. With every recommendation you log, we'll calculate how much of the earth you've seen.
AskAround is a social app. The more friends you connect with, the more recommendations you’ll unlock, including those from friends of friends. Beyond storing and sharing tips, you can see Who's Around in a given city and receive weekly travel inspirations through our Uncover Weekly feature.
Of course! AskAround is built with privacy and safety in mind. You have full control to decide who can see your information. Choose whether it's strictly friends, friends of friends, or anyone on the app.
An app by lazy people, for lazy people. We've built the bulk recommendations feature so that you don't have to go one by one to add recommendations to your profile. Simply select a city and month of visit and you can add tons of sites to recommend all at once. Easy peasy.
If you're still too lazy to do that, you can send us an email and we'll add them for you. Just email hello@askaround.travel and include "I'm Lazy" in the subject.
Each time you add a recommendation in a new location, we'll recalculate your earth seen. While you're still getting started, your earth seen % is boosted a bit. Nobody likes seeing 0.01% 🙃
Let me connect you to my supervisor. Just email hello@askaround.travel and we'll be happy to help 🫶
