One stop destination for Desi Travel Companion

Need a travel companion for your parents or for yourself when travelling with kids? Desi Travel Companion connects desi travelers across the world.  It is a free to use platform to find travel companion. It is created by Arizona based Ravi Kommineni and Sailaja Boddu family. This website works as a platform to connect passengers in need of a travel companion with passengers volunteering to be a travel companion.

We always see elderly passengers and passengers with kids having lot of trouble and needing help at each step of their travel, boarding to transit to filing immigration documents etc. AT Desi Travel Companion, options are available for anyone to post for travel companion request on behalf of others like parents, search for matching travelers and request to be a travel companion.

University students travelling has options to mention any tip amount they expect for being a travel companion which helps them to earn a few bucks while they travel. Travelers are notified if the travel companion cancels or modifies their trip. You also get notifications about trips that match your trip.

Contact details like email id or phone number are not visible for public view. Rather, traveler contact details of each other are only shared when each other accepts their trips to be a travel companion. The whole idea is to solve such issues faced by desi communities across the world, using technology.

The website, launched in January of last year, was nearly six years in the making. As of last year, the website has attracted 80,000 visits and 55,000 of those came from within the US. 1,200 trips have been posted on the website and 220 people have connected with each other.
