'm creating a social travel app that revolutionizes how people connect. Scapade is a mobile platform that connects travelers and locals based on their location and shared interests, fostering more meaningful interactions. As a solo traveler, I have had so many unique experiences that could only happen by meeting locals and have made friends worldwide because of them. I recognize that not everyone is able to have these same experiences due to things like social anxiety or language barriers, and I plan to bridge that gap with Scapade.

Post-COVID travel behaviors have shifted, with a desire for authentic, local experiences, and the need for human interaction. Scapade not only facilitates connections, but also promote local small businesses and crowdsources local tips, enriching the travel experience for everyone. By leveraging technology, we can create a community that supports both travelers and local economies - promoting cultural sustainability.

Features like real-time event notifications, language translation tools, and the integration of AI-driven recommendations are all roads to explore as we build. My ideas are always evolving, but my vision is clear: to build a platform that transforms the way people travel and connect, making the world feel more accessible for everyone.
