Meet the founders, Ildi, Lucy and David
The idea came to us a few years ago, after the COVID pandemic, when we felt inspired to bring something new to tourism. With our background in hospitality and international customer service, we saw how people were becoming more impatient and disconnected. Social media pressure and constant negative news only deepened the divide, making the world feel less open and connected.
As travelers, we’ve always valued discovering local culture, traditions, and cuisine—and connecting with people as genuinely as the tourist-host dynamic allows. That’s why we created a platform for like-minded individuals to share authentic experiences, without money getting in the way.
Our members don’t host for financial gain; the goal is human connection—between guest and host, cultures and people, through everyday life. What better way to understand someone than by sharing time and space in their home?
We offer a unique experience to everyone who joins: proudly host and share your culture, or be a curious and open guest. It's time to rediscover the joy of understanding, acceptance, and mutual trust.
