Say you decided to travel through Europe. You want to visit Madrid, Paris, Lisbon. You want to follow the usual tour: museums, castles, important streets and avenues. Great! But guess what? You’re also a young soul. You want to party, to find hidden and little-known places. You want to have an adventure.

Yeah that’s not included in your typical tour and you won’t easily find any info about these places while surfing the internet.

To get to this kind of places what you really need is a native showing you the city. Say you go to Lisbon: I bet you you’ve read in some travel blog that the best Pastel de Natas are in Belém or Sintra in stores with queues starting from 40 people. Well, guess what? They’re not. The best pastel is made in a bakery factory in Chiado. How do I know that? Easy, because I live in Lisbon. And you too could know this if I were to show you the city. Buddoop helps you find people like me.

How it works

All you have to do is post on Buddoop that you’re looking for people to show you the city, or to party, or that you’re looking for the best places to photoshoot in Lisbon.

It’s that simple. You can also check events near you posted by other people.

If you would like to know more about us, be up to date with what we are working on and enjoy some humour, follow us on our social media: Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Given the global pandemic and your safety, we are delaying the launch of our social network. In the meantime, sign up for our beta waiting list to get early access at www.buddoop.com.

We can’t wait to meet you!
