Description

TravelMate is an open source private-travel-guide-matching app for your reliable and satisfiable trip with a private guide. Anyone can be a travelmate(guide) and a traveler(user). Unlike other existing travel programs, in TravelMate, both travelers and travelmates can offer travel schedules and travelmates do not have to be professional.

This software is for those who are willing to show people around their familiar areas and for those who need some guide for new areas with cheaper price.

My friend, Sejoong Kim, brought up with this idea from Uber and AirBnB where people share their own properties. I degined up to implement TravelMate like an open-market shopping cart based on Android.

To Run

1. Clone Repository
2. Install Android Studio 2.3.3 and make sure jdk to be installed in your device.
3. Open Android Studio and open TravelMate that you cloned from the github repository.
4. Build the application and run it using the emulator. (I emulated on Nexus 6 API 25)
5. Start exploring!
