Estephani told us, “Throughout the booking process, the travelers pick an amount of time they want their Greeter for, the meetup spot, and share a description of what interests them the most about their visit to that destination.”

Once you’re paired up with your greeter, there isn’t much else that needs to happen besides waiting until the two of you meet at your destination. The two of you will plan out how long you’ll spend the trip together, where you will go, and if you have any requests for what you want to see.
