WAYN (Where Are You Now?) is a travel-based social network that aims to allow users to keep tabs on the friends they’ve met around the world, and meet new ones as well. The idea for the site was hatched after founders Jerome Touze and Peter Ward returned from a backpacking tour across the world and wanted an easy way to keep in touch with the friends they’d met across the globe. WAYN competes with other travel-focused social networks and services like TripUp, HereOrThere, and TravelMuse.

WAYN allows its members to connect with friends met abroad. It offers the standard social networking features (photo sharing, video uploads, messaging) to foster these connections. In addition, users can share travel reviews for various categories like accommodation, dining, and nightlife.
