ABOUT
Welcome to Rove Lifestyle, LLC.
A mobile application born out of a transformative journey and a deep-seated desire to combat feeling alone, join groups, create groups, & meet new people.
​
Founded in 2024 by Kathleen Foley, Rove Lifestyle, LLC. is more than just an app; it's a hub to connect and find your community anywhere.
Our story begins with Kathleen's summer in Barcelona alone, scared at first but quickly realized she wasn't alone. Immersed in culture and friendships, meeting new faces at every turn. Leaving her with a new perspective on life. No one sees the world the same way. But we do all feel, and no one realizes how fulfilling it is to meet people and experience new things until it's gone, or not happening daily. There is a universal need for to connect with eachother, groups of people. To have a community or group of friends anywhere. Share experiences on an interpersonal level.
"Returning home to the United States, I couldn't shake the feeling of disconnection and observed the hesitance people have stepping out of their comfort zones. There is not as much willingness or excitement in trying new things, or meeting new people."
That is when the idea of Rove came to life.
"A platform where strangers become friends, experiences become life lessons, and the world feels a little friendlier."
​
Rove is for the people who want to experience new things, meet new people, go outside and talk in person. Whether your traveling, relocating, or just looking for something to do in your hometown; Rove is for everyone. The traveler, bar hopper, fashion enthusiast, raver, corporate employee, foodie, etc. may it be a hike, music festival, or sports outing. Find your people, and do what you want to do, they're out there.
