Cool Cousin is the friend you wish you had at your next travel destination.
We're putting an end to endless Google searches before you travel. They only lead to generic recommendations and dubious reviews, written by people you don’t know, have nothing in common with, and who are probably trying to sell you something.
Knowledge without borders means joy without boundaries. Sure, it sounds pretentious as hell, but hey - we honestly believe it!
That’s why with Cool Cousin you are a finger tap away from finding someone at your next travel destination who shares your interests and whose recommendations you can trust to step up your travel game.
Available on the app store!
