In a nutshell, it is Bumble’s answer to Tinder's passport. Yes! Bumble finally caved into the user demand and provided a similar feature to the much-loved Tinder passport. The Bumble travel mode lets premium users change their location up to seven days to a different location than where they are physically present.

The profile displays a ‘traveler’ icon, notifying other bumble users that you are there for a short stay. The rest of the bumble features and how you use the Bumble app remain the same.

When you enable the travel mode, Bumble drops you off in the center of the city you’ve chosen. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to set an exact location at the moment.

PS: Make sure that you have a premium subscription; otherwise, you won’t be able to use Bumble travel mode. If you don’t have a premium subscription, you can purchase it anytime.

Do you have to pay to use bumble travel mode?

Yes, travel mode comes bundled with the Bumble premium subscription. Therefore, you will need to purchase the Bumble premium subscription.

Small aside. Did you know it is possible to make your profile more attractive in 2 minutes and get more matches every day?

Thanks to our Artificial Intelligence trained on 10,000+ pictures rated by hot girls, you will be able to access personalized feedback and tips to boost your dating profile for good.

You will know exactly which pictures are good or not, and most importantly why.

So, what are you waiting for to take charge of your dating life?

  2. After a successful purchase, you will be able to use the travel mode on the Bumble app.

The only caveat using Bumble’s travel feature is that your location will be shown in the center of the city you select, and you won’t be able to select an exact location. However, that is not a cause to worry. You can still set the ‘distance’ filter to increase your visibility and ‘match’ probability.

bumble travel mode vs tinder passport which is better

Bumble travel mode vs. Tinder passport: Which is better?

ROAST, fix your profile

Bumble travel mode and Tinder passport are pretty similar.

They both let you change your location and swipe profiles in a city where you are currently not. There is only one major difference between the two. Tinder passport lets you change cities as many times as you want. Bumble travel mode, on the other hand, allows you to change location only during seven days of travel mode.

Tinder, being the most popular between the two, will get you more visibility, likes, and matches naturally. That being said, it doesn’t hurt to try out Bumble’s counterpart to Tinder passport. You don’t know where you might end up lucky!

is the travel mode feature worth it

Is the Travel Mode feature Worth it?

There is no clear answer to this. It depends on how you use the feature.

Some users may find and line up meetings with friends and dates but won’t be able to find the time for the same.

For such users, the travel mode feature will seem useless.

However, other bumble app users might have plenty of time at hand and can use it to swipe on potential matches, chat, and meet them after they have arrived at the location.

For them, it's a banger! A boring business trip becomes spicier with the meeting of a new date or friends.

So, it all depends on how you leverage the feature. The final call is yours.

Tinder get more matches

We have your back covered. No, you can't really get bumble travel for free. But YES there is a way to get similar feature!

You just need to mess with your GP location. It can be tricky on phones nowadays, but way easier on computer!

Actually, you can fake your gps location using your browser only!

However careful! If the app catches you, you are likely to be sanctionned. Shadowban and other things are not fun!

is it safe to use

Is it safe to use?

Yes, the feature is safe to use, similar to how safe the app is in general. The feature does nothing extraordinary; it just allows you to match with new people in advance. Just follow safe dating and meeting practices, and there’s nothing to worry about.

other considerations

Other Considerations

When you use Bumble travel, your profile shows a badge notifying other users that you are a ‘traveler.’ This can play spoilsport as certain users might not be interested in connecting and meeting with a person who is not from their city.

We hope that Bumble gives users the option to hide the traveler badge, like Tinder, to increase the chances of connecting with new people.

A good tip to avoid issues: specify in your profile that you are traveling and when! Reassures big time, super-efficient.

Bumble travel is definitely worth a trial. Before moving to a new city, you definitely would want to find friends, networks, and dates beforehand. We can look at it this way. Before traveling, we book flight/train tickets, hotel accommodations, and other things. If we can plan these things to ensure a hassle-free trip, why can’t we plan dates and friend meetups beforehand as well? It seems logical, right?

So, go ahead, use the Bumble travel mode, and reserve dates even before you set foot in the city you are traveling to.

Before you leave, how about knowing how strong is your dating profile?

This profile review will finally allow you to know how to make your profile more attractive, and get more matches and dates with people you really like.
