# NomadShare

> Hyper-local peer-to-peer gear sharing for backpackers, powered by Flow Points.

NomadShare lets travelers borrow tents, surfboards, ukuleles and other gear from people nearby instead of buying or hauling everything. Exchanges run on Flow Points, a community currency held in escrow until handoff.
