Client brief
A travel app that finds hostels that are popular with other backpackers and that have a sociable atmosphere, so it's easy to meet other travelers while on the road. User's are shown a map of the world, and cities are ranked and placed on the map in order of how popular they are right now. Backpackers can explore the map and zoom in on cities and see what hostels and hotels are popular in those cities (the hostels are marked on the map as well). The user can also see how many travelers are staying in each hostel right now. If possible, I'd like the name to emphasize exploration on the map, the popularity aspect of the app, and sociable nature of backpacking/hosteling. No misspellings please. Thank you kindly.

Naming tips for Travel app for finding popular hostels
Keep it pronounceable
A good business name should be easy to say out loud and spell from memory. If you have to spell it out every time you say it, it will slow down word-of-mouth growth.
.com still beats clever TLDs
Despite hundreds of new extensions, .com remains the most trusted TLD for professional brands. Customers default to typing .com - pick a .com name whenever possible.
Avoid trademark traps
Before you register, run a quick trademark search to make sure the name is clear in your industry. Similar names in the same category can lead to costly disputes later.
Test it in a sentence
Say "I work at [name]" or "Check us out at [name].com" out loud. The name should sound natural, confident, and memorable in everyday conversation.
