Coffee at Bonanza
Bonanza Coffee · Lisbon
Post a spontaneous plan — coffee, drinks, a hike. People nearby join you. No dating pressure. Always free.
Free · No subscriptions · Works in Lisbon, Barcelona, Dubai and more

You moved to Lisbon. Or Barcelona. Or Dubai. You have a job, an apartment, maybe a coworking space. What you don't have yet is people to grab a drink with on a Tuesday night.
Dating apps feel wrong. Meetup is too formal. WhatsApp groups require knowing people first.
Let's Join is the missing piece — a spontaneous hangout app for meet people nearby. Low-commitment, real-life plans with people who are up for it right now. Apps to make friends abroad shouldn't feel like work.
Real-style plans from the feed — spontaneous meetups for coffee, drinks, hikes, and more.

Post anything IRL — spontaneous meetup app for expats, nomads, and anyone new in town
Everything about Let's Join — the expat social app for spontaneous hangouts near you.
No — and we mean it. Let's Join has no swiping, no match percentage, no "it's a date unless you say otherwise" ambiguity. It's a spontaneous hangout app: you post or join a plan at a public venue with a clear time and capacity. People use it to make friends when they move abroad, not to find romance. Romantic pressure or pickup behavior isn't what the product is for, and it can get accounts restricted. If you want friends without dating apps, that's the point.
Yes. Always free. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no "premium to send messages." You create events, you join events, you meet people. That's it.
Expats, digital nomads, international students, and remote workers — anyone who moved to a new city and wants a social life. People use Let's Join as a social app for expats and newcomers in cities worldwide when they need spontaneous meetups nearby, not weeks of planning.
Every profile shows a real trust score — how many events they've hosted, how many they've actually shown up to, and what other attendees said. You're not meeting a random stranger. You're meeting someone with a track record. And every event is in a public place.
Anything IRL. Grabbing a coffee, a beer after work, a hike on Saturday morning, a board game night, watching a match. If you want company for it — post it.
You decide when you create it. Set the capacity — "table for 4" or "open to anyone." First come, first served.
They get a reliability strike on their profile. Three strikes and they can't create events for a week. And if an event gets cancelled, anyone who RSVP'd can step up and take it over — the plan doesn't have to die.
It happens, especially early on. That's why we keep events short and spontaneous — low stakes, low commitment. But the more complete your profile and the higher your trust score, the more people feel comfortable joining a stranger's plan.
Yes. When you RSVP you can add +1s. No need for them to have the app.
Yes — but only inside events you're hosting or attending. Hosts and attendees use chat to coordinate meeting spot, timing, and practical details for that plan. There are no cold DMs to people you've never shared an event with. Messaging stays tied to a real hangout, not open inbox spam.
Let's Join works wherever you are — post or join spontaneous hangouts in your city, anywhere in the world. We're live in cities like Lisbon, Barcelona, and Dubai today, and growing as local communities get active. Quality over quantity: we'd rather have a lively feed in one neighborhood than a ghost town across ten cities.
Check in when you arrive. Snap a photo for the event album. Follow the people you clicked with — if they follow back, you're friends. Your history builds your profile. Your profile builds trust for the next stranger who considers joining your plan.
Meetup is planned weeks in advance, run by organizers, often feels like a networking event. Let's Join is spontaneous — someone posts "going to this bar in 2 hours, who's in?" That's a very different energy for meet strangers IRL.
Yes. If you run a bar, café, or restaurant and want to reach groups who are actively planning to go out tonight — talk to us at hello@letsjoin.app.
