Your Safety is our top priority
We know that traveling and staying with someone new requires trust. That’s why we’ve built HerHouse with safety at the center of everything we do.
-
Every member is required to verify their identity, so you know you’re connecting with real, trusted women inside the community.
-
We take an extra step by running background checks to help create a safe and secure environment for all members. This will pull from sex-offender registries, criminal activity, and terror watch lists
-
HerHouse is exclusively for women, creating a space where you can feel more at ease, supported, and understood wherever you go.
-
You choose who you connect with, who you host, and where you stay. Every interaction is fully up to you.

“I know what it's like...
After spending time solo backpacking through Australia, I discovered that solo women travelers need an easy and safe way to connect with local women while solo traveling. They need friendship, safe accommodation, and support while abroad. I created the space I needed most:
A community of background-checked women ready to open their doors, share their stories, and make traveling alone feel… less alone.
HerHouse is more than a place to stay.
It’s a sisterhood. A spark. A path forward into the bold, beautiful life you know is waiting. We'll keep growing until there's members in every corner of the world so that no matter where you go you'll find a friendly smile and a safe bed waiting for you.”

Members Success Stories:
“I feel so blessed. My host opened her whole house to me, generously welcomed me in, helped me prepare for the new country that I’m going to be in for a year, and gave me so many tips. I couldn’t be more thankful!”
— Danielle, while in New Zealand
“This is a memory I'll always cherish, and who knows, maybe I'll come back! All because of an idea that Tess had, that grew into this wonderful app, creating a community of safe and like minded individuals, but I'll call em’ friends!”
— Rustina, While in Switzerland
“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
4 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.
-
Girls Getaways
Often in our monthly coffees and mixers the members chat about where they’re headed. If we have a group of ladies who want to meet up we’lll create a new space for it to help facilitate meeting up for dinner, hikes, beach days, and more!

Have you ever thought…
“I want to travel solo, but I’m nervous to go alone.”
“I’m going through a big life shift and need to get away just for me.”
“I’m tired of waiting for someone else to go with me, I’m ready to go now.”
“I want to immerse myself in the culture of a new place and see the city like a local."
“I wish I knew someone in the city. It would make going alone less scary.”
"None of my family/friends really understand my desire to solo travel, and they all think its dangerous for me to go out on my own."
We understand you and you belong in HerHouse!
Real Women, Real Connections
Driven by community and adventure, HerHousers are finding connections and opportunities they would have never encountered before.
Why Not Just Use Airbnb or Couchsurfing?
Let’s look at your other options…
-
![Bedroom with bunk beds, large windows, and a reflection in a mirror. The bed has folded linens and a banana on top. Outside view shows urban buildings.]()
Option 1: Couchsurfing
Free stays, but mixed experiences
No women-only focus
Safety and connection can feel uncertain
-
![A person with a light-colored shirt is using a MacBook Pro laptop displaying a Facebook page, while holding a smartphone showing a social media app. The scene takes place on a wooden table.]()
Option 2: Free Facebook Groups
Can find free accommodation occasionally
Anyone can create fake profiles on Facebook- creating safety concerns for all parties
Posting where and when you’ll be alone in another country can be unsafe- you never know who is actually seeing this information
-
![Interior of a hotel room with a person standing by a large window, overlooking the cityscape. The room features two made beds and curtains.]()
Option 2: Hotels
Tends to be a safe option for solo women travelers with staff on site
Challenging to immerse yourself in community and culture
Growing prices have solo travelers looking for other options
Ex: Average hotel in New York City: $393 USD per night
Want to spend 3 nights at a hotel in New York City? Be prepared to spend at least $1,179 USD
-
![Modern black house in green landscape with cloudy mountain background.]()
Option 3: Airbnb
You pay every night for a place to stay
You might never meet the host
Some solo women travelers have started feeling unsafe staying at AirBnBs alone
Average global price for an Airbnb: $137 USD a night
Want to spend 2 weeks traveling in the UK? Be ready to spend at least $1,918 USD for your accommodation
-
![Two women sitting on a bed with two dogs, smiling and enjoying a cozy room with soft lighting.]()
Option 4: HerHouse
A women-only, vetted community
Stay with someone who gets you
Find safe community and connection in a new city or a new country

This is for you if…
You crave adventure… but also want to feel safe
You want to travel solo, but not feel alone
You’re tired of surface-level trips and want deeper connection
You want to meet women around the world who actually get you
You’re excited to connect with others- both to host or get together while in the same area

This isn’t just for travelers.
It’s for women who are:
Expanding. Healing. Becoming
This isn’t just about where you stay… it’s about how you feel.
Booking another place, but still feeling alone
Navigating new cities without real connection
Wondering if it’s safe
Wishing you knew someone there

You don’t just travel differently with HerHouse…
you experience the world differently.

Why? HerHouse is a space designed to help you meet new girlfriends and network with women from all over the world. We get together a couple times a month and often ladies talk about their upcoming travels and end up traveling together or meeting up in certain locations.We’re not a booking platform. It's a place to discover opportunities and THEN go visit your new friends in places you may have never visited otherwise.
Imagine the adventures that would open up if you had a free place to stay with a girlfriend.
-
Yes! In your profile you can disclose who is living in your home so that the traveler can be aware- especially if there is a male living in the home.
-
Yes! If you don't have the ability to host at this time that's totally fine. Many of our ladies who can't host would still love to connect with others when they come to their city for a coffee, sightseeing, or simply advice.
Keep in mind you don't need a fancy guest room to host. If you have couch, that's all you need to host in HerHouse!

-
HerHouse is designed for solo women travelers. However, if you're traveling with another person, your child, or a pet, just let the host know and she can let you know if she's comfortable with that arrangement and if she has space.
