Our Story
Hi! This is Chen, the founder of Perf. I’m an avid solo traveler and have explored over 20 countries on my own. While solo travel has filled my life with unforgettable moments, it’s also where I’ve felt the most missed opportunities.
That perfect sunset photo by Dubai Creek Harbour in my favorite summer dress. The online accessory brand I wanted to purchase in Paris. A spontaneous countryside visit in the northern Philippines that I couldn’t figure out how to get to. And countless local experiences I never quite unlocked. These are the moments I still think about—the moments I could have made happen.
Behind every missed moment was a lack of resources for me. Every time I traveled, I wished I could hire a local by the hour, at the local wage, to help with whatever I needed in the moment. One day, it hit me: why not actually make that happen? And that’s how Perf. was born.
​
Perf. is a resource travelers never had—but always needed: something they can rely on for anything.
We’ve made it easier to access help from locals, right when you need it, so you don’t miss out on the moments you could have made happen with just a little help from someone.
