How can I stay safe when I travel?

Updated · iPhone, Android and Web

Research local laws and customs before you go, meet in public places, and keep a friend informed. Laws about dating, LGBTQ+ people and alcohol differ from place to place.

Before you go

  • Look up the local laws. In some countries, same-sex relationships or dating apps are restricted.
  • Save local emergency numbers. In the US it's 911.
  • Share your plans with someone you trust.

When you meet someone

  • Meet in public, busy places and plan your own way back.
  • Keep your chats in Vennu until you know someone well.
  • Be careful with people who ask for money, gifts or help with travel costs. Spot a romance scam.

Good to know

  • Trips only work for cities where Vennu is live.
  • You can always hide from a mode, or delete a trip, if you don't feel comfortable being seen.
