Our Story
Helping reduce your screen time when you solo travel
Founded in London in 2024, we embrace the knowledge and wisdom of local people.
⭐️ Local People & Connection ⭐️
When it comes to travel planning, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the endless stream of online information. Our mission is to make planning your trip more enjoyable and help you reduce your screen time when on your trip!
🧠 First-hand Wisdom, Not Second-hand Info 🧠
You'll find no adverts, endorsements or sponsorships here, and we don't use chat-bots either. Just great recommendations from friendly, local people!
🧢 Independent Start-up 🧢
Go So Local isn't backed by any investment firms, hedge funds, private equity groups or incubators. Our team is a mixture of full and part-time locals who provide the hand-made recommendations, itineraries, routes, advice, and more to you.

The Stuff We're Made Of
Find yourself... somewhere new.
Whether you're planning your first ever solo trip (go you 🤗), or an experienced solo traveller, we're here to help you make the most of the time you have.
How well you spend your time determines the memories you'll make, and the experiences you'll live and breath. Unfortunately, with so much competition online for our attention - it's harder than ever to be present and in the moment.
Finding what it is we're looking for without losing time to ads, distractions and the dreaded doom-scroll is its own challenge. Especially when more and more apps are designed to keep us engaged, addicted and scrolling.
We use technology to enhance real-world experiences, not replace them. Travel joy isn’t limited to the trip itself; it starts in the planning phase and lives on in the memories you revisit after.
