Filter by trip style
Narrow to solo, couple, backpacker, digital nomad, or luxury. In Idkū the most common pairing is two solos, so leave those match filters open unless you have a strong preference.

Swipe and match
Spend 5 minutes swiping on traveler cards. Each card shows overlap days, neighborhood overlap, and trip style. Match only with people whose overlap is at least 4 days, otherwise you end up in chat that never converts to a meet-up.
