There's a group for that.

Travel planning gets easier when you can find people going to the same city, not just the same country — so that's exactly what groups do now.

🗺️ Getting specific

Each destination group has now split into two levels: a country home and the cities or regions underneath it. Head to /groups/japan and you'll see a strip of sub-groups — Tokyo, Osaka, Kyushu, wherever people have been gathering. Click into one and you're in a focused thread for that exact place.

The URLs are clean: /groups/japan/tokyo goes straight there. If you've bookmarked or shared an old link, it still works.

🏳️ A more recognizable look

The groups listing got a visual refresh too. Destination groups now show the country flag as their card image, so scanning down the page feels more like flipping through a travel atlas. Interest groups — Solo Travelers, Budget Backpackers, and so on — take a different look: a bold icon on a slate background. That makes it easy to tell at a glance whether you're browsing by place or by travel style.

📍 Put your city on the map

Sub-groups aren't set in stone — you can request one. If a city or region is missing from a country group, there's a request button right on the page. Submit it, and the status shows up in your dashboard under the Globe card so you can track it.

It means the directory can grow with the community rather than falling behind it.

Go explore /groups and see where your travel interests take you. ✈️
