Profile Display and Matching:

• Users create profiles detailing their personal information (name, age, location) and travel preferences (destination, group size, dates).

• Users are presented with profiles of potential travel companions. Profiles include personal traits and travel preferences to help users make informed decisions about who they would like to travel with.

2. Swipe Feature:

• Users can swipe left (dislike) or swipe right (like) on travel companion profiles. When both users like each other, they form a match and can begin chatting to finalize travel plans.

3. Real-time Profile Updates:

• As users swipe through profiles, new travel companions will be dynamically loaded, giving users a seamless experience without having to reload the page.

4. Travel Preferences Integration:

• Each user profile includes specific travel preferences, such as the desired destination, group size, duration of the trip, and ideal travel dates, ensuring matches are not just based on social compatibility but also on logistical alignment.
