About this app
ShipBuddie is the community platform for people living abroad — everything you need to carry, live, work, and connect overseas, in one app.
Whether you're looking for assistance for your parents who are travelling abroad or need a urgent medicine home, looking for a room in a new city, hunting for a job overseas, or just trying to figure out how visas and banking work — ShipBuddie connects you directly with people who've walked the same road.
Free to post, browse and connect. No hidden fees.
✈️ TRAVEL & CARRY
Find a verified traveller flying your exact route. Arrange a travel companion for elderly parents or send parcels home, ship documents — far cheaper than couriers and far more personal. Post your own trip and earn on spare baggage. You and your buddy agree what's fair.
🏠 EXPAT SUBLETS
Short-term housing offered by expats, for expats. Furnished rooms and flats for days, weeks, or months — entirely peer-to-peer with no agencies and no commissions. Pay your host directly. City registration guidance included.
💼 JOBS & REFERRALS
Find roles where you actually want to live. Listings shared by locals and expats — startups, hospitals, schools, agencies. Filter by city, sector, and visa support, and apply directly with no middlemen. Refer friends to roles at your company and earn a referral bonus when they're hired.
🎉 COMMUNITY EVENTS
Discover meet-ups, festivals, and professional events near you. RSVP, see who else is going, and host your own event in minutes.
💬 COMMUNITY Q&A
Ask the questions search engines can't answer — visas, banking, taxes, schools, day-to-day life abroad. Get replies from people who lived it last month. Tag-based threads, upvotes for answers that actually worked, and the option to reply anonymously.
WHY SHIPBUDDIE?
• Verified members — connect with confidence through identity verification.
• Direct, private chat — message matches in-app once you've connected. No phone numbers shared until you choose.
• Built for trust — report tools, profile bios, and a reputation system keep the community safe.
• Truly global — any route, any city, every week.
• Free to use — post, browse, and connect at no cost.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Post — list what you need: a carrier, a sublet, a job, or a question.
2. Match — browse listings or get matched with the right person.
3. Connect — chat directly in the app and make it happen.
ShipBuddie was built for travellers, by travellers — for everyone living between two homes. Join a global community that gets it.
