Thank you, Tristan, this is so lovely to read! Feeling safe and at ease with who's staying in your home is everything, that trust is really at the heart of what we're trying to build. So happy you found us too :)
My favorite platform to travel. Stay in real homes hosted by actual people and families. I have used Kindred all over the world and grateful for the amazing experiences. I recommend to anyone who is looking to get out of a basic air bnb, and looking to save while they travel.
