Bubbl is a new kind of travel platform—founded in 2024 by Hayley Melidonis, a seasoned solo traveller who has explored all seven continents and knows firsthand the joy, growth, and occasional isolation that can come with travelling alone. As a woman over 50, she built Bubbl to create a safer, smarter, and more social way for like-minded people to connect and travel together.
Bubbl helps like-minded travellers, especially solo women over 50, find shared stays with others seeking similar experiences. They might be attending the same event, heading to the same destination, learning the same skill, or simply looking for meaningful connection. Whether it’s a shared house during the Cannes Lions Festival, a cultural retreat in Tuscany, or a wellness escape in Tulum, Bubbl turns solo travel into shared adventure.
What makes Bubbl different is that we’re not just a booking platform—we’re a real community. Each group trip, called a “Bubbl,” includes built-in tools like group chat, shared calendars, screening questions, and secure payment. Every trip is hosted by a real person to support the group. Safety is central to our mission, with ID verification and in-app coordination that offer travellers peace of mind.
Love organizing travel? You could be a Bubbl Leader.
If you’re the one who finds the best stays or brings people together, Bubbl was made for you, too. As a Bubbl Leader, you can design your own trip, invite others, and earn a free or discounted spot. You don’t need to be a travel expert—just someone with a spark for connection and a place in mind. Whether it’s your yearly writing retreat or your first group trip to Oktoberfest, we’ll give you tools and support.
