March 18, 2026 I couldn't find a single real person in a foreign city.So I've been building a way to meet one for 14 months.

Two years ago I was traveling alone in a city where I didn't know anyone and couldn't speak the language.

Every "solution" was useless. Dictionary apps, tourist guides, language platforms β€” none of them gave me what I actually needed.

A real person. Someone local. That person existed in that city. I just had no way to find them.

So I've been building Socieful for 14 months β€” a place where travelers meet locals, language learners connect with real people, and strangers in the same city can actually find each other.

I'm a solo developer from Turkey. Beta launches in April.

Server costs are $95/month β€” enough to slow this down if I'm not careful. I opened a Patreon to cover the first 3 months and get it live.

If you've ever felt alone in a foreign city β€” you already get it.
