Oiyster is a mobile travel social messaging app for travellers, expats or even native locals to explore the untapped and hidden gems of the world. We believe in connecting people who are genuine in helping each other to experience the world without social and language barriers. Post any questions in your preferred language and connect with the community today.

Language could be a huge headache when it comes to travelling. Many times we have burning questions to ask the locals but due to language & culture differences, the message that we delivered across might not be correct or worse still, it could offend others. You might think that there are search engines, online travel forum, travel articles, travel blogs and translation tools that can aid us during our travel and yes, indeed these are true. However, the digital spaces are getting really crowded over the past few years. The information that we gathered and the articles that we read, were either too commercialised or over-rated. Sometimes, we as a traveller desire human interactions, suggestions and recommendations from the local community and like-minded travellers instead.

Oiyster believe that your travel should be hassle-free and not necessarily expensive. Travelling like a local will truly allow you to discover hidden gems, experience unique cultures and meeting globetrotters from all over the world.
