The Story Behind Obimap

The idea for Obimap was born from my personal experience. As a passionate traveler and someone used to regularly changing cities or countries, I often faced the challenge of rebuilding a social network to practice my favorite activities - from climbing to roller skating and hiking.
This process typically takes 4 to 5 months, which is a relatively long time when you want to maintain an active social and sporting life. The existing solutions had certain limitations:
  • Facebook groups, where messages quickly get lost in the information feed
  • Sports clubs, which often operate on a fixed-date registration model lacking flexibility
  • Existing websites, mainly focused on big cities and group activities
It's from this experience that the need to create Obimap (a contraction of "hobby" and "map") was born, a platform that allows you to:
  • Find people sharing your interests near you
  • Organize activities according to your availability
  • Meet people in a simple and casual way
  • Create connections wherever you are, whether in the city or countryside
Obimap's mission is simple: sharing your passions with others should be easy, no matter where you live.
If you too are looking to meet people who share your interests in your area, join the Obimap community and find your next activity partners in just a few clicks.

FAQ
