Travel like you already have friends there

Discover local experiences through real human connections — not crowded tours or tourist traps.

Tourism is Broken

We've all been there. Overpriced activities, fake experiences, and locals who see us as walking wallets.

Superficial & Inauthentic

Travelers face overpriced activities lacking genuine local flavor. Cookie-cutter experiences everywhere.

Exploitation Over Empowerment

Local communities are exploited, not uplifted by tourism. The money rarely reaches the people.

Commodified Experiences

Platforms offer impersonal, mass-generic tours, losing all authentic charm and human connection.

We're Not Like the Others

Wonderlus connects you to the heart of a place — its people.

We're not about tourism. We're about human stories.

Choose Your Local Vibe

Foodie

Dani

"Hey, I'm Dani. I love showing people the hidden coffee spots in San Salvador. Let's grab one if you're in town!"

Artist

Maya

"I'm Maya, a local muralist. Want to see the street art that tells our city's real story? I know every wall and the artist behind it."

Nature Lover

Carlos

"Carlos here! This weekend I'm hiking to a waterfall most tourists never see. Want to join and split the ride?"

Shared Local Adventures

Instead of hiring a guide, what if a local just wants to go hiking this weekend, and wouldn't mind sharing the experience with a traveler — to share costs, company, or just have a meaningful interaction?

Travel companion network powered by locals and fellow explorers — not pros

Wonderlus isn't about buying a ticket. It's about discovering a city with someone who lives it, loves it, and wants to share it.

Wonderlus connects travelers with local friends who love sharing their city, culture, and favorite places — not because it's their job, but because it's who they are.
