What makes Vaya different.
Small, public gatherings near you—nothing staged, nothing six weeks out.
Map-first, not feed-first.
You see plans as pins on a real map, filtered by radius and category.
Spontaneous by design.
Plans must start within about 36 hours. Nothing six weeks out, nothing stale.

Meet in public.
Visible public meetup spots only. No private homes.

No harassment, hate, sexual pressure, spam, or repeated unwanted contact.
Protect privacy.

Privacy stays simple.
Location stays loose.

FAQ.
Who can message me?
Direct messages only open after two people accept a connection request. Event chat opens only after you join the same plan.
How far ahead can I post a plan?
Up to about 36 hours. Vaya is for what's happening soon, not what's happening in October.
Who can see my exact location?
Nobody. Plans use a public meetup point you choose; we never share your live device location.
Do I have to share my phone number?
No. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email.
What if a plan goes badly?
Leave the chat, block the person, and rate the plan privately. We review reports and can remove accounts.
Is there an Android version?
A cross-platform version is in development. iOS is shipping first.
