VisitorsConnect is a website for visiting parents and/or relatives to connect with other like-minded people in their neighborhood while staying in the US.
One of the biggest reasons why parents hesitate to come to the US is that they don't have a network of friends to socialize with and therefore, get bored. By signing up with VisitorsConnect, you can help them connect with like-minded people in your neighborhood, who may also be visiting the US. Our unique algorithm uses information provided about your parent such as their interests, languages spoken and age to suggest new connections.
VisitorsConnect is a free service to all. You can sign-up if you have a parent or grandparent visiting and you want to help them find some companionship in your neighborhood.
By providing personal interest like hobbies and choice of languages spoken, VisitorsConnect can help you find others with similar interests within your chosen zip code and help you connect with them. Filling in as many details as possible in the profile helps us find a better match.
Your profile will show up in search results only when your parents are present in the USA. Entering these dates and keeping it updated will help us to showcase your profile to other members who share the same travel period.
You only need one account per family. However, you should create two separate profiles for each parent to separate each of their interests and preferences. This will help VisitorsConnect identify like-minded people for each of them.
My parents are not computer savvy. Should I create an account on their behalf?
Yes, we recommend that someone who actively uses a computer and knows how to browse or email actually creates the account. Account creator will receive all notifications, invitations to connect and must be able to respond via their email.
You will need only a single account and you may add multiple profiles for each family member into that account.
You can add more than one address to any profile. So, if your parent is going to stay with you in California and will be visiting Virginia after two months, you can add both addresses. When searching for connections, you can then pick an address where they are interested in meeting new people.
Our algorithm uses various inputs including your home city, current address, spoken languages, hobbies, interests and displays a list with the most relevant connections at the top.
Phone numbers and email address are not displayed for privacy reasons. They are revealed after the other party has accepted your invitation.
Phone numbers and email addresses are not displayed for privacy reasons. They are revealed only after the new connection has accepted your invitation.
When you click on "Connect" tab, an email notification is sent to the contact person for that profile. They can then view the invitation, see your profile information and choose to accept or ignore. The requestor cannot see your address, phone number or email until you accept their invitation. If they accept your invitation, you'll get an email notification about the same. If they don't take any action, they receive a follow-up email the next day.
You can click on the View Profile tab to see their profile. If you would like to connect with them, simply hit the "Accept" tab. You can also choose to ignore their invitation.
