Specialist solo escorted tour operator Just You has launched a new online community platform called Kindred.
*All details correct at time of publish (15 June 2026)
Kindred has been introduced to connect solo travellers, provide reassurance, inspiration and support to those making the decision to travel solo. It can be accessed by current, future and past guests and acts as an online hub for users to share their experiences, tips and advice.
The platform features dedicated ‘trip chats’, where customers can connect with fellow travellers on their specific itinerary before, during and after their tour.
Guests can introduce themselves ahead of departure, stay in touch while travelling and continue conversations once they return, helping to build relationships and enhance the overall travel experience.
In addition, Just You holiday directors join the ‘trip chats’ just before departure to ensure all guests are prepared for their tour. Just You is the first travel company to use this type of technology as an integral part of the customer journey.
Kindred is free to use and can be accessed via desktop and as an app for Apple and Android mobile devices.
Tom Morgan, Trade Sales Director at Just You, said: “Kindred perfectly demonstrates that travelling solo doesn’t mean travelling alone. Designed from the ground up as a social connection tool, it is a dedicated space where clients connect with fellow travellers, their destination and local communities.
“At its heart, Kindred is about enhancing the overall solo travel experience and helping guests feel more supported throughout their journey. For agents, it strengthens trust with clients by highlighting the community experience of a Just You tour.”
Just You offers a wide variety of tours, visiting destinations globally. Group sizes average 27 people, with select tours having a limit of 20 as part of its Max 20 concept.
All itineraries include return flights, daily breakfast and many other meals, overseas transfers and accommodation – with a guaranteed twin or double room of their own for every guest – plus a Just You holiday director.
