As a native New Yorker whose parents immigrated from Malta, this comment made me smile :D

@gillianim :-)

@gillianim -- just checked out hitlist - doing the work for people is a huge value... gonna use that soon!

@samir_doshi thanks, glad you like it! Fun fact: we've found that 18% of Hitlist users say they've taken a trip they weren't otherwise planning to take, and 87% of users think they will in the next six months... it really does help get you out the door! And @partywithalocal can help ensure you have fun wherever you land.

@gillianim I know what you mean...couchsurfing lost its touch. I had a great time as a host/entretainer but not anymore. How can I get the app? I can´t find it on the app store :-(

@rrhoover @suzywillow Mexico City is very active & has a very cool community!! :)

@rrhoover @suzywillow You guys should definitely try it out, and please let us know how it goes! You can even chat to a few people there before you arrive and tee up a night out :-)

@rrhoover @suzywillow Did you end up using it? I got back from Mexico City a couple weeks ago and would wish I knew about this. I ended finding locals and travelers that wanted to party, but this app would have made it even better.

@caffe1nated @suzywillow we actually didn't! Our time was so short with wedding activities.

@bramk Thanks Bram! Also for your ongoing support and feedback all along the PWAL journey, much appreciated!

@felipericieri So happy to have you with us dude!

@bo_irik Thanks Bo! You are one of our true 'Super Locals'. Thanks for organising the meetups and nights out in Lisbon too!

How long ago was that @gabrielreynard & where were you in Europe? Our community has grown significantly recently and is especially active in some European cities now - Amsterdam, Lisbon & Lille to name a few.

@dan_fennessy It was on December (14) and January (15), I tried to use in Paris, London and Amsterdam. In Amsterdam I found some people available, but they looked like inactive users.

@gabrielreynard Right. Try it again next time you're in Europe :-) Or you can chat to people in other cities before you arrive - that's one of the new features we've launched today as well.

@itscoreyb Good question Corey. It's true that some people might be totally content with their existing friendship group, and not really interested in meeting new people. But here are a few reasons why, as a local, you might want to use Party with a Local - show off the hidden bars and clubs you know & feel like a traveler in your own city, make friends from other places for your next trip abroad (or across the country), mix up a typical night out with friends by adding a traveler or two to the mix, cultural and language exchange (which gets easier the more you drink)... & for a fun/different night out. I'd add that a decent portion of our users in some cities are expats (and nomads) - people who are new in a city and definitely interested in meeting new people, making new friends, and partying. Also - it doesn't have to be used in strictly locals-travelers & vice versa. People are also using the app to meet other locals. We've know of quite a few who've become really good friends after meeting via the app. We've heard from females that they like that the app is not about hooking up or 'swiping right' too - just for fun nights out & go from there.

@itscoreyb Hey Corey, its a good question and I think what Dan said really got it. A lot of our very active users are expats, nomads and people who travel a lot. Also small world, I'm a friend of your brothers! We met while on exchange in Amsterdam and I stayed to work on Party with a Local. Although I was 'local' to Amsterdam I didn't know a lot of people. I found the app incredibly useful to meet a network of fun, outgoing people in Amsterdam who I saw repeatedly over the summer during PwaL events with always a couple new travellers thrown in. As a 'new local' I also enjoyed giving people tips on things in Amsterdam I'd just discovered when they were visiting. It's definitely very two-sided.

@juliagrandfield @itscoreyb "A lot of our very active users are expats, nomads and people who travel a lot. " Makes total sense for an app like this. Very hard (& expensive) to reach the average travelers who only goes on 2-3 trips a year, as we've learned building our own travel apps. Congrats on the big update!

Thanks @drewmeyers! Indeed.

@juliagrandfield @dan_fennessy small world! like what you guys are doing, best of luck. the expat angle is certainly easier than the traveler one, that's for sure

@carlosfilipec8 Thanks Carlos, was great partying with you in both Amsterdam and Lisbon!

@fullstache Thanks Pascal. I agree - we do have a very cool team! Very international and diverse too... Isn't diversity seen as a problem in tech? We're from 5 different continents, speak 10 languages fluently & more than half women :-) https://medium.com/@Dan_Fennessy...

@pcbo Thanks Pedro, good call - could be handy for nomads indeed if they want to meet more locals.

@xvilo Thanks Sem!

@dredurr Exactly! Cheers.

@doutatsu Yeah, def give it a try next time Fedotov.

@tribaling Cheers Elia.
