Soul22
Solo Travel & Wellness Community Platform
Mobile-first travel and wellness platform that helps solo travelers connect safely, discover wellness partners, plan trips, and build meaningful travel experiences. Includes memberships, background verification, traveler matching, messaging, partner listings, reporting, and admin moderation.
The Challenge
Solo travelers need a safe way to meet like-minded people, plan trips, and find wellness partners — without losing trust across onboarding, payments, matching, and moderation.
Onboarding, payment, verification, and profile setup
Trips, dates, blocks, and expired matches stay accurate
Reports, warnings, suspensions, and admin review
Onboarding state
The app had to know whether a user finished payment, Checkr verification, profile setup, or membership — then send them to the right next step.
Traveler matching
Matches had to stay correct when users created multiple trips, changed dates, blocked someone, or finished a trip.
Trust at scale
Good-Faith Deposit, Checkr background checks, and membership status had to work together before travelers could connect.
Moderation loop
Reports, warnings, suspensions, and emails needed to stay in sync across mobile, backend, and the admin panel.
The Solution
Soul22 is a complete travel-community product: mobile app plus admin dashboard, with Checkr verification, Stripe memberships, trip matching, messaging, partner listings, and coordinated moderation.
Onboarding & verification
Registration, Good-Faith Deposit, Checkr background checks, and Pending / Approved / Rejected status that moves onboarding forward automatically.
Membership & payments
Free and paid flows on Stripe, membership expiration, founding-member pricing, and upgrade / downgrade paths.
Travel matching
Trip creation, destination and date matching, overlapping-trip detection, live match updates, and cleanup of expired matches.
Profiles & messaging
Photo carousel, bio, languages, interests, matched-profile access, direct messages, blocking, and real-time notifications.
Wellness partner directory
Destination-based partner listings, free discovery, paid-member discounts, and admin tools to add or edit partners.
Trust & moderation
Report profiles, messages, and partnerships. Warning history, suspension, reinstatement, and admin review with automated emails.
