A discerning global community

Friends On Arrival is a safe, secure and genuine online environment where people can meet, share information, and start new friendships. It is particularly useful for people who travel and like making new connections wherever they go, and for locals looking to expand their circle of friends.

The premise is that people can make the connection online before starting their journey, making for a more welcome on-arrival and travel experience.

Because people use Friends On Arrival for many different reasons, we have made it safe and easy to use for everyone to enjoy - combining functionality and usefulness with ‘old school’ simplicity and privacy.

Friends On Arrival also adheres to the TRUSTe Privacy Program. You can give as much or as little information as you like and we won't pass any of it on to advertisers, and we don't spam.

Founded in early 2006, Friends On Arrival has quickly grown through word-of-mouth into a discerning community spanning 57 countries.

There's more for us to do and there’s much more to come, and as we grow and add things, the more useful we hope to be. If you have any suggestions or feedback, we'd love to hear from you. If you like what we’re doing, please tell your friends

A warm welcome from all of us at Friends On Arrival, and we hope you enjoy every visit.
