Features

Everything to travel free, without losing the connection

Four simple gestures, designed for life on the road and spontaneous encounters.

Real-time map

See who is traveling near you

Follow your friends and discover the nomads around you, anywhere in the world — without turning the road into a noisy social network.

Apero button

Start a meetup with one gesture

In the mood for a drink? Let nearby travelers know and create a simple, local and spontaneous moment in seconds.

Help button

Ask for help when things go wrong

Breakdown, dead battery, mechanical trouble: send a call to the community around you and make it visible in one tap.

Chat

Stay connected on the road

Chat live with your friends or travelers you meet, in country rooms or groups of road trippers.

Why COBA?

The road is better when it is shared.

COBA is designed for travelers who want to keep their freedom without losing connection. See who is around, suggest a drink, ask for a hand, pick up a conversation: everything stays simple, human and immediate.

An app that turns crossed paths into real encounters.

Mexico

The spark behind COBA

How we met

Mexico 110 km to meet

In Mexico, Bubulle, Les Trois Vagabonds' van, broke down. Far from everything, finding help quickly was impossible. A message was sent in a chat group, without knowing who would actually see it.

Roadcats Family answered and hit the road to help. After 110 kilometers between Tizimin and the archaeological city of COBA, one thing became obvious: making this kind of meeting, support and human connection easier could change many trips.

That is how COBAwas born: an app designed to bring travelers closer and make the community simpler, more direct and more alive.
