Encounter vs Penroads

Encounter is a mobile app that lets people purchase beautiful interior design pieces from bars, hotels and restaurants.

Every time you encounter something beautiful at a bar, hotel or a restaurant, you can use Encounter app to easily ID that item and purchase it. Simply launch the app, tap on the venue you are at and see an item you see in front of yourself in real life, on your smartphone. Place an order and have it delivered to your home. No need to scan, take a picture, research the price or arrange a delivery.

Penroads is a social platform which helps travellers and backpackers find travel partners at their destinations.

Penroads is a social travel platform that connects both travelers and locals by destination and travel dates. It is the first platform that gives people direct user-to-user chat in real-time, allowing them to meet with international travelers to share tips and plan activities.
Social travel is a dichotomy. Travelers not only want to meet each other, they seek a knowledge base for planning their trips. Penroads allows users to engage each other as a social network, and participate and share in discussions. I'd liken it to 'Quora' for travel.
