Before there was a Livingua, there was an idea between us to solve a problem which we all faced and struggled with. We graduated from a high school called the United World College which gathers internationals from 80+ countries. Our fellow UWC friends hosted us, guided us and assured our safety while we were traveling in their countries. Realizing the impact and exclusiveness of this resource, we
wanted to create a service that is available to the public, at all times, to help fellow travelers. Livingua is an app that connects travelers with hand-picked locals to provide personalized advice anywhere in the world. Livingua speaks every language you need, understands every culture that surrounds you and knows every place you want to go. In just a few seconds we match you with the best available local that can assist you with translation, local advice or both. Livingua provides real-time, on-demand travel guidance and translation services via VOIP and geo-location utilizing the sharing economy model. Access to locals will substitute wasting long hours reading reviews and planning trips. Livingua saves travelers’ money by getting familiar with cultural standards and local pricing. In addition, guides will inform travelers of any safety concerns at their location. Finally, Livingua's initiative will give local community the opportunity to have a direct impact on the experience of people visiting their territories as well as earning extra income through this peer-to-peer service.
