LOVE the concept, design, and aesthetic! We (at Bold Tuesday) combine the concepts of travel with design, so we're obviously all about the idea of cosmopolitan exploration. Can't wait to try it out in the next few months when I travel to Germany and France! I'm from Minneapolis, MN (USA) now living and working in Europe, but Minneapolis is chock full of potential cool cousins—definitely an area to tap into when you further expand into the US. Cheers and well done!

@discopancakes thank you for the kind words Courtney! I love Minneapolis and it's a perfect fit for our product so we will definitely expand there soon enough 😎

@talkb1nary Hey Roman! we're working on it ;-) once we're live, we'll let you know :-) in the meantime you can check out our website www.coolcousin.com - where you can find a taste of each cousin's recommendations.

Hey @itamar_weizman, any plans for launching new destinations in the US?
Itamar Weizman
@rony_harpaz hey! We're launching our very first US destination next month, New York! We're really excited about it and it's only the beginning so stay tuned ;-)
Alain
Love it guys! I'll follow your updates to check when New York is available. Congrats
Itamar Weizman
@alainduruy Thanks Alain! we're launching NYC next month ;-)

This is how every traveler should travel. I Just tried this app in London and It was perfect. Cool places, recommendation & interesting cousins!
Itamar Weizman
@oferklein thank you for the kind words! Hope you're traveling soon to more of our cities ;-)

What a great approach and creative. I've seen a lot of travel apps come and go, but never saw that kind of approach to it. This just proves that good creative is crucial.

@novakben we can't agree more but hey, we're kinda bias 😇

Great concept, i believe real users bring the most value in every field. Is android version on the pipeline? Also you have already a huge competitor www.airbnb.com/new, after they acquired trip4real! Good luck guys!
Itamar Weizman
@rubenvivanti Hey Reuben, Thank you for the kind words! Android is mos def in the pipeline 🙂 Although we love hearing Cool Cousin and Airbnb in the same sentence, trip 4 real that they acquired is a tour service and Cool Cousin is a completely virtual service that allows you with two finger taps to connect with like-minded locals, get their guidebook for the city and message them if needed
Ruben
@itamar_weizman Now all clear!
Gus Navarro
Looks Awesome. I wonder how much it will differ from Airbnb Experiences. Really intrigued 🤔
Itamar Weizman
@gus_navarro Heya Gus, Airbnb Experiences, like Cool Cousin, is aiming to help people experience things in a more unique less generic way but it's a completely different service. Cool Cousin allows you to connect with like-minded locals and "accesses" their knowledge with two finger taps - get their full map for the city and also message them directly for local's advice. We are not only offering great guidebooks curated by people like you, we also allow you to interact with the curators, aka cousins. With Cool Cousin you actually have a real, human, like-minded someone to reach out to in the city you're visiting. Hope you'll use us during your next trip ;-)
