Travel better in Hanoi with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Hanoi spends about ~$20β35 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Hanoi.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Hanoi (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.
Meeting someone new in Hanoi
Agreeing to travel with someone you met online is a real decision. Here is what sits between matching and meeting.
Verified profiles
Travellers can verify their identity with a government-ID and liveness check, and verified accounts carry a badge you can filter on.
Chat before you commit
Message in the app and get a sense of someone first. Nothing obliges you to share contact details, or to meet at all.
Report and block
If someone makes you uncomfortable, report or block them at any point, before or after you have arranged anything.
Emergency SOS
Add emergency contacts before you travel. If something goes wrong in Hanoi, raise an alert to them from inside the app.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Road Rules
Crossing the road in Hanoi is a rite of passage. Walk slowly and steadily: never stop, never run, never make sudden moves. The motorbikes will flow around you. Trust the system. It works for millions daily.
Food Culture
Food in Hanoi is deeply regional and seasonal. Each dish has a "best" stall, and locals will passionately debate phα» supremacy. Ask your hostel staff for their personal recommendations. Never add hoisin to phα» in Hanoi. It is a southern habit that northerners frown upon.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Hanoi travel guide.
