Off To
The travel app where your friends are the algorithm
TripAdvisor, Google and Instagram give you strangers' consensus. Off To is the first travel app where your own people are the algorithm. Every recommendation comes from a friend, or a friend of a friend. Skip the stars. Travel to the places worth going, from people you know, not strangers with opinions→ offto.io
Hi!
I'm Dag-Henning, building Off To.
It started with a slightly annoying observation: the best places I've ever been didn't come from a 4.2★ average or a "top 10" list — they came from a friend who recommended it.
Yet every time I plan a trip, I'm back to scrolling TripAdvisor and Google, trusting a
thousand strangers who doesn't know me.
So the problem we set out to solve: travel discovery runs on the wrong question.
We want to travel to the places worth going, from people you know, not strangers with opinions.
I like the idea of making your own people the algorithm. Travel recommendations feel much more trustworthy when there is some human context behind them, even if it’s just a friend of a friend.
Curious how Off To handles the early network problem. If someone joins before many of their friends are there, do they still get useful recommendations, or is the main value unlocked once your own circle starts adding places?
