How to find safe girlfriends, save money, and have unforgettable experinces while solo traveling
Are you an explorer... not a tourist? Do you want to get off the beaten path, meet locals, and experience life through their eyes? How about stretch your money farther so you can travel longer?
Maybe travel opportunities are slipping away as you've been waiting for family or friends to commit to trips with you.
Reality check: You’ll still be waiting on them next year! It's time to go alone.
But the thought of traveling solo is terrifying. Not having anyone in a new city or country scares you and your family.
If this resonates...HerHouse is the community for you.
I know what it's like...
A few short years ago I had just gotten out of college. Not knowing what to do with my life yet, I decided to get a Working Holiday Visa and backpack through Australia for a year.
Imagining the freedom and adventure was intoxicating. All I wanted to do was travel, meet people, and have new experiences.
Like you, I felt very nervous about going to another country not knowing anyone. I felt so vulnerable as a woman traveling alone.
But then something magical happened…
I was able to connect with an old friend outside Melbourne. She picked me up from the airport and hosted me with her family for 2 weeks. Having a girlfriend be there for me made me feel safe and supported. She introduced me to her friends and family, and I had instant local community in the country. I also saved easily $1500 by staying with Sally.
Staying with a local is completely different from hotels, hostels, or Airbnb’s. It's not a business transaction.
It's a friendship.
When I got back to the states after my adventure I thought... "I want to help other women have that kind of experience. If I could create friendships with local women in another country I know others can too."
Imagine this... arriving at your host's home after a long 1-2 days of traveling. You freshen up and join her on the back patio. The golden sun warms your skin and you share a bottle of local wine together. You're chatting all about life, family, and experiences (busting out laughing here and there I may add).
You then help cook a fabulous dish and experience an authentic home cooked meal. That night safe in bed, gratitude swells in your heart, and you're excited for another adventure tomorrow.

3 Ways to Travel
-
Home Stays
Being hosted by a HerHouse sister is the main way our users travel. You’ll be able to connect directly with local women for friendship and safe accommodation with them.
-
Home Sitting
Are you looking for some longer term accommodation? Our members frequently post their homes in different parts of the world if they’re needing a sitter to care for their pets/plants while away. It’s a win-win for both parties with a free background checked sitter and free accommodation for the traveler.
-
Home Swapping
Are you a homeowner who would like to relocate to another city or country for a month or more? Try home swapping with another HerHouse sister in another part of the world. She’ll come stay at your place while you stay in hers. It’s another win-win with you both getting to live like a local in another country without the accommodation price tag.
What would free accommodation ultimately mean for your bank account?

The sooner you reach out to hosts the better. Sometimes it can take time to find available hosts in your desired location and dates of travel.
If you’re wanting to travel in the upcoming 12 months, start reaching out to hosts ASAP so they can be ready for you!
Additionally, it’s always good to have a HerHouse membership incase you have an unexpected adventure come up and need a place to crash (or if you get stuck in a city because of a flight delay). Just reach out to a HerHouse sister!
What would free accomoadtion mean for your adventures? It means you get to say yes. Yes to the surfing lessons… yes to the skydiving opportunity… Yes to the fancy restaurants.

Success Stories
“I spent 3 weeks with Ellen in Auckland and I could not thank her enough. I felt at home immediately and she and her husband Jordan helped me a lot to start my working holiday in New Zealand. This was very valuable for me as a first time solo traveler. We went on so many adventures together. Even though she has lived in New Zealand for already 3 years, we still could explore new places together. We went horseback riding, biking, hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking.. surrounded by beautiful scenery 😍 a dream for every traveler!”
— Hannah, While in New Zealand
“I spent almost 3 weeks exploring Denver thanks to my amazing host Kayla and this app. It was so much fun to hang out with Kayla. We gathered with her friends and meditated together, went hiking, had amazing dinner at a cook restaurant, cooked at home, spent friendsgiving together and went out for ice cream at night while it was freezing outside lol. I also spent lots of time exploring on my own. This was such a nourishing trip that allowed me to come back to myself and feel empowered again. I am forever grateful!”
— Denisse, while in Denver, Colorado USA
“Found myself in New England with a couple of extra days for exploring and thought it was the perfect opportunity to give HerHouse a try. Totally hit the jackpot when I found Crystal’s listing in Rhode Island! Sent her a message requesting a stay the next day and she was quick to respond with a warm welcome and open-ended timeframe. She is an experienced host and also gave me the idea of walking across the entire state in a day. What a fun, fun visit! 🍁🍁”
