Free forever for our first 1,000 adopters →

Make friends all over the world. Then go visit them for free.

Everyone has that one friend who lives somewhere interesting and happens to be a great host. You come stay, they cook for you, show you around, take you on the little adventures you'd never find on your own. Now imagine hundreds of those friends, in 566 cities and 74 countries. That's Adopted Adults.

why we built this

Airbnb has hosts. VRBO has hosts. But somewhere in there, ‘host’ came to mean a lockbox and a welcome cookie. A good host cooks for you, shows you around, and somewhere along the way becomes your friend. There wasn’t a word for that anymore, so we picked one. Here, you don’t get hosted. You get adopted.
