Looking for Feedback (and Potential Collaborators) on a Relocation Startup I'm Building

Hi everyone,

I'm a solo founder based in the UK, and over the past year, I've been building a platform called HOLTO TRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE

The idea came from a simple observation.

There are thousands of websites that help people book holidays.

There are property portals that help people buy homes.

There are relocation companies that help people move.

But I couldn't find a platform that helps people answer the most important question first:

"Is this destination actually right for me?"

HOLTO is designed to help people evaluate destinations before they spend money on property, visas, relocation services or other long-term commitments.

The platform combines destination guides, cost-of-living comparisons, visa information, relocation planning tools and a growing library of resources for retirees, digital nomads and anyone considering life abroad.

We're starting with destinations such as Hurghada, Thailand, Vietnam and other emerging relocation hotspots, with the long-term vision of creating a global "living abroad" platform rather than another travel website.

The website is already live:
https://holtotravel.com

At this stage, I'm looking for honest feedback from founders, travel professionals and people who have experience with relocation or building marketplaces.

I'm also open to connecting with potential co-founders, strategic partners or investors who believe this space has long-term potential.

I'd really appreciate any thoughts on:

  • Does the problem resonate with you?
  • Is this something you think people would actually use?
  • What would you add or change?

Constructive criticism is more than welcome. I'd rather hear the hard truths now than after spending another year building.

Thanks in advance!

Would Thailand Be Your First Choice for Retirement or Remote Work?

Thailand has always been popular with expats, but I'm curious whether it's still the destination people would choose today.

If visas, healthcare and cost of living weren't barriers, would Thailand be your ideal place to live?

Or would you choose somewhere else?

For those who've lived there:

  • What surprised you the most?
  • What do you wish you'd known before moving?
  • Would you recommend it to someone looking for a long-term base?

I'd love to hear real experiences rather than the usual travel highlights.

Would You Move Abroad If It Cut Your Living Costs by 50%?

Imagine you could reduce your monthly expenses by half.

Would that be enough to make you seriously consider relocating?

Or are factors like healthcare, family, language and community far more important?

I'm curious because cost of living is often the headline, but it rarely tells the whole story.

For those who've already moved abroad:

Was saving money your main motivation, or did quality of life matter more?

I'd love to hear real experiences rather than just numbers.
