Welcome to Ekaki - a community built for solo travelers by solo travelers. Ekaki is a space where solo travelers can meet, share stories, and explore the world together — while staying safe and respectful. These guidelines help keep our community positive, inclusive, and trustworthy. By using Ekaki, you agree to follow these principles.

1. Be Respectful

• Treat others with kindness and respect — both online and in person.
• Embrace cultural differences and listen with an open mind.
• Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or bullying have no place here.

2. Stay on Ekaki Until Trust Is Built

• Keep conversations inside Ekaki until you feel comfortable and trust the other person.
• Avoid sharing your phone number, social media, or other private contact information too early.
• Staying on-platform protects your privacy and helps us keep the community safe.

3. Screen Before Meeting

• Before meeting someone, get to know them through messages, group chats, or a voice/video call.
• Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it probably is.
• Report suspicious behavior using the in-app Report feature.

4. Privacy of Personal & Travel Details

• Be cautious about sharing exact travel plans, such as flight details, hotel names, or times of arrival and departure.
• Avoid posting private information like your home address or where you're staying.
• Share only what you feel comfortable with, and only when you fully trust the other person.

5. Transportation Autonomy

• Always arrange your own transportation when meeting someone new.
• Don't rely on a new acquaintance to pick you up or drop you off.
• Having control of your journey gives you the freedom to leave if you feel uncomfortable.

6. Alcohol Awareness

• If you choose to drink, do so responsibly and mindfully.
• Excessive alcohol can impair judgment and increase risk.
• Stay aware of your surroundings and keep your belongings secure.

7. Underage Users / Minors Policy

• Ekaki is only for users 17 years and older.
• If you believe someone underage is using the platform, report the profile immediately.
• Protect younger travelers by helping us keep the platform age-appropriate.

8. Protection of Personal Identifiers & Financial Info

• Never share sensitive information such as:
  • Government IDs or passport numbers
  • Bank or payment details
  • Passwords or security codes
• Ekaki will never ask you for this information through chats or posts.

9. Share Purposefully

• Post meaningful, travel-related content — stories, questions, tips.
• Avoid spam, advertising, or irrelevant posts.
• Make Ekaki a place where travelers feel inspired and informed.

10. Report & Block

• If someone makes you uncomfortable, block or report them using in-app tools.
• Reports are reviewed promptly, and action will be taken where necessary.

One Guiding Rule

Be the traveler you'd want to meet.

Respectful. Curious. Open. Kind.
