About Walter
Founder of Gallivanta
Walter
Solo traveler • Travel-first storyteller • Founder • Privacy advocate
I’m building Gallivanta because I was tired of explaining my lifestyle on dating apps built for people who stay put. I wanted a platform for people who are already in motion.
The Fun Stuff
35+ countries across 5 continents. That includes backpacking through Southeast Asia, road-tripping across Latin America, and hiking solo in Iceland at 3 a.m. under the northern lights.
I started Gallivanta because I kept running into the same problem: traditional dating apps are built for people who stay put. But millions of us are traveling solo, working remotely, and living lives that move. We’re confident, independent, and open to connection—we just need a platform that gets it.
When I’m not building Gallivanta or analyzing markets, you’ll find me chasing sunsets, trying local street food, or striking up conversations in hostels and rooftop bars.

I’m keeping a lower profile while building Gallivanta. As a dating app founder, I take privacy seriously—both for me and for you.
