Abstract: This paper introduces GlobeTogether, a web-based application designed to connect travel enthusiasts looking to share their journeys. At its heart, the platform intelligently matches users based on their destinations, travel dates, and personal interests. GlobeTogether tackles the common hurdles of solo travel—like higher costs, safety concerns, and feelings of isolation—by creating a secure and welcoming community of verified travelers. Key features include a simple user registration process, detailed profiles to capture travel preferences, a smart matching algorithm, and a powerful trip management system for creating trips and inviting others. Built on the MERN stack (React.js, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB), the system is both scalable and efficient. Our goal is a fully functional platform that makes travel more connected, affordable, and socially vibrant for everyone, especially solo and budget-conscious adventurers. Looking ahead, we plan to integrate AI-driven recommendations and launch dedicated mobile apps.
