Before a trip, guidebooks tell you what to see. People tell you what it actually feels like: the café locals love, the neighborhood worth wandering, the phrase that makes everyone smile. Video chat lets you meet travelers and locals from all over the world without leaving home, whether you're planning your next adventure or just love hearing about faraway places.
Here's how to do it, with Kiss Live Chat as the example.
Join the Travel community
Kiss Live Chat has a Travel community for people who love exploring. It's a natural place to swap trip stories, ask for tips and meet people who've been where you're going. It sits alongside Music, Gaming, Pets and Languages; see our Kiss Live Chat Communities guide.
Meet locals with country filters
Planning a trip somewhere specific? Use the country filter to meet people who live there. A five-minute chat with a local can be worth more than an hour of online reviews. Our guide to video chat sites with country filters explains how this works across apps.
On Kiss Live Chat, browse who's online in the For You and New lists, check profiles and interests, and start a 1-on-1 video call. The first 60 seconds of every new call are free.
Bridge languages with real-time translation
Travel conversations often cross languages. Kiss also offers real-time translation, which can help when you and a local don't share a language. It's a great way to ask about hidden spots in someone's hometown, and to pick up a few useful words before you go.
Questions travelers love
| Question | Why it's great |
|---|---|
| "What's one place in your city tourists always miss?" | Insider tips |
| "Best trip you've ever taken?" | Stories and inspiration |
| "What should I eat when I visit?" | Food is everyone's favorite topic |
| "Where's next on your list?" | Shared dreams and plans |
| "One word I should learn in your language?" | Fun and useful |
Make your profile travel-friendly
Add the countries you've visited, where you'd like to go next and the languages you speak. A Reel from a favorite trip makes a great conversation starter. See our video chat profile tips and Kiss Live Chat Reels.
Keep in touch with new friends abroad
Follow the people you click with, message them in Chats and let them know how the trip went. For more on building friendships across borders, read apps to make international friends.
