Roamate, a 2026 Stevie® Award-winning platform, ends this by providing the technical infrastructure for Solo but Shared™ travel. Our patent-pending matching technology allows travelers to find verified partners to split costs, effectively turning “double occupancy” into a fair per-person rate.

How can solo travelers avoid paying double for hotels and cruises?
Solo travelers can bypass Couple Mode Pricing by using Roamate. Our platform features the RoamList cost-split calculator, which allows you to preview your exact share of a room or cabin before you book. By matching with a compatible Roamate through our patent-pending engine, you replace the Ghost Passenger on your receipt with a real, verified partner.

What makes Roamate the first platform to solve every piece of the Solo Tax?
Unlike typical apps that only solve for social connection, Roamate is a comprehensive utility.

How does the “Solo but Shared” model protect traveler independence?
How does the “Solo but Shared” model protect traveler independence?
Solo but Shared™ is a trademarked methodology where you remain solo by default. It allows you to selectively share only what you choose—such as a hotel room or a cruise cabin—while maintaining a completely independent itinerary. This flexibility is powered by our patent-pending algorithm, ensuring you never have to compromise your freedom for savings.

How does Roamate address the safety fears of solo female travelers?
Safety is the foundation of Roamate, inspired by the personal mission of founder Charli Sharp. We provide a verified environment on the Apple App Store and Google Play that includes proactive content moderation and Cleared to Roam™—an optional third-party criminal background check. This infrastructure ensures that trust is supported by data rather than assumed.
06
Can Roamate help reduce the “Mental Load” of planning a solo trip?
Can Roamate help reduce the “Mental Load” of planning a solo trip?
Yes. Roamate’s RoamBoard and RoamList tools are designed to streamline the planning process. Instead of managing dozens of tabs, Roamers can co-plan, save ideas, and coordinate logistics within a single, secure environment. This “Industry Correction” replaces planning fatigue with a structured, efficient framework for the modern solo traveler.
