For Gay Men Who Travel

Not for everyone. Built for us.

WEEKENDR is a private members app for gay men who travel—it’s your trusted guide for what to do and who to connect with. We are building this city-by-city focused on community and connection.

The timeline of intention.

We are changing when gay men meet. Not by proximity. Not by accident. WEEKENDR combines AI with on-the-ground anchor intelligence to seamlessly align your travel calendar with a vetted membership network and trusted local context.

01

Built For Us, City by City

We are building this specifically for gay men, launching city by city to ensure we foster the deep, authentic connections needed to create something truly bespoke and impactful.

02

Your Local Curators

Instead of scattering information across a dozen different apps, we’re bringing everything into one place. Our Local Anchors provide deep, neighborhood-level knowledge so you can explore and connect with confidence.

03

No More Endless Scrolling

We are reinventing how we meet online. By vetting every single member, we eliminate the endless scrolling and meaningless messages. Everyone is here for a reason.

Cities

Built by the community.
Traveled together.

Cities are the core of WEEKENDR. We craft your plans around them — connecting you to a network of curated members, experiences and local anchors so you never have to explore a new city without a dynamic plan.

The Anchor

Our Cities

Cities are the core of WEEKENDR. We craft your plans around them—connecting you to a network of curated members, experiences, and local anchors so you never have to explore a new place without a dynamic plan.

The Philosophy

People Over Landmarks

The best travel stories never start with a landmark; they start with the people you meet. WEEKENDR turns unfamiliar cities into shared experiences by seamlessly bridging the gap between traveling members and local residents.

The Experience

Your Crowd is Waiting

Through our member network, you aren’t just getting a restaurant recommendation—you’re pulling up a chair with locals who live there and fellow travelers passing through. Whether it’s splitting a bottle of wine at a hidden vinyl bar, joining a pickup game, or trading city secrets, WEEKENDR ensures that wherever you land, your crowd is already waiting for you.

About

The Team Behind the Vision.

This ecosystem isn’t run by an algorithm. It is steered by a small, dedicated team of creators, cultural observers, and avid travelers who care deeply about how our community moves through the world.

Backed on the ground by our network of Local Anchors, we are committed to keeping WEEKENDR focused, curated, and safe. We enable the connection so you can design the experience.

About

What is WEEKENDR?

WEEKENDR is a members-only travel app for gay men. It matches WEEKENDRs — locals, visitors, traveling pairs — who are in the same city over the same dates. Voice notes first. FaceTime if it clicks. The weekend starts before you land.

The Model

How it works

Application-only membership. Free to join. Premium tier (Priority) launching summer 2026. Matching is date-based and destination-based — not proximity-based. No public profiles. No unsolicited contact.

Stage

Where we are

Currently in founding cohort phase. iOS app in development. Matching active in NYC, Miami, and Puerto Vallarta with Barcelona, Lisbon, Amsterdam, London, and Paris coming in 2026.

Founders

The team

Haven Thorn (Founder, Airbnb alum), Michael Arnold (Head of Membership), Hugh Behroozy (CTO). Based between Miami, Hudson Valley, and Vancouver.
