FOR SOLO TRAVELERS
Go anywhere.
Someone always knows.
Solo travel means freedom. It also means nobody is keeping track. If You Read This is the quiet safety net you set before you leave. If you ever go silent, the people back home find out automatically.
See how it worksSet it before you leave. Forget about it while you travel.
Set your check-in interval.
Daily, every few days, or weekly. Opening the app resets the clock. As long as you check in, nothing happens. You travel freely and the app runs quietly in the background.
Write a message for someone at home.
A friend, a family member, a partner. Write what you want them to know if they ever stop hearing from you. Your location, your itinerary, what to do. In your own words.
If something goes wrong, they know.
Miss your check-in and don't respond to reminders? Your message is sent automatically by SMS. No one has to wonder why you went quiet or wait to find out.
EXAMPLE MESSAGE
Hey, if you're getting this, I've gone quiet. I was traveling through southern Portugal, last in Lagos. My passport and travel insurance info are in the notes app on my phone under "emergency." Please try reaching me on WhatsApp first. If you can't get through, contact the US Embassy in Lisbon. I'll be okay, just check on me.
What your contact receives by SMS if you miss a check-in.
"I travel alone all the time. This is the first time I've felt like someone back home would actually know if something happened."
Travel freely. Come back safely.
Set it up before you leave. It runs quietly the whole trip. The best safety net is one you never have to think about.
