Do you know which generation you belong to?
Gen Y or Z. Don’t know anything about these generations? No worries. Let me explain that. In western countries, the concept of classifying people to generations is very popular. According to them, Generation Y or Millennials are those people who were born between 1982 and 2004. People who were born between 1995 and 2012 belong to the category of Generation Z or iGen. Millennials and Gen Z people have a lot of similarities because both they were born in the world that is fully dominated and filled with a lot of electronic devices.
A lot of companies are targeting Millennials and Gen Z people because of their addiction to technology and social media. As they are deeply interested in technology, they can adapt to the developments and changes quickly when compared with their past generation. Like their ancestors, they don’t stick to a single job and do the same type of work. Instead, millennials and Gen Z people will change their jobs often and love to experiment new things in their life.
Millennials and Gen Z people love to explore the world on their own by traveling to a lot of places. A recent study revealed that Millennials are spending almost $5000 every year for leisure travel or vacation. For every year, they like to spend 30-35 days in travel which is at least 20% more than Gen X and Gen Z people. Also, Millennial and Gen Z people don’t bother spending money on getting a memorable travel experience. At times, they feel that the online travel websites like Tripadvisor, Expedia etc are too biased and commercialized which results in lack of personalization. So, they are more interested in seeking the help of a travel service which can be customized based on their needs.
Meet CoolCousin
CoolCousin provides an innovative solution especially for the Millennial and Gen Z travelers as they are connecting them to the local people directly. CoolCousin (CC) is available as an iOS app that can be downloaded from the app store. In the app, the traveler can easily choose their selected destination to view the list of all locals (called Cousins) available for that tourist destination. The platform provides the option for filtering the cousins by age, gender, tags etc. After choosing the desired cousin, the traveler can directly chat with them using the secured messenger available on the platform. In this way, travelers can get the personalized assistance and support of the cousins throughout their duration of travel. Check out https://www.coolcousin.com/ico/coolcousin-whitepaper.pdf to learn more information about the CC platform.
How can a traveler pay the cousins? The platform has introduced a new type of utility token called CUZ tokens which will be used as the payment mode for requesting any kind of service in Cool Cousin. CUZ tokens are based on Ethereum ERC20 and will be sold by the company during the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) event. These tokens will also be used by the CC for providing rewards to its contributors who are making valuable contributions for its growth.
Kindly visit https://www.coolcousin.com/ico/ to get more information about CUZ tokens, its benefits, and the sale procedure.

Thanks, great post.
I think given how much people are traveling and living 'digital nomadic' lifestyles, there may definitely be some good potential here.
The Cool Cousin app sounds like it would be really dope for traveling to areas for concerts and festivals. You'll be able to get a more personal connection with the area as well as save money and make memories. #GenY
Yes, many times we go and visit some really nice places, with a lot of history behind it, and we don't find about it. It is nice to have someone to guide you and help you live some nice memories there.
great one.... :)
I'm a baby boomer or right on the edge. I'll be traveling in a motor home, but I can see where CC could be useful. Very informative in many ways.
