Why go with a buddy

The best local moments are easier to enter with someone beside you.

Stadium cheering, street food, fan rituals — everything is more welcoming when a local buddy tells you what is happening, when to join in, and what feels natural.

You apply once through the Google Form, and the ZeroOne team confirms everything with you directly before the activity.
