Adopt
Make a friend from New York.Then adopt them.
The day's finally here. Your new friend is visiting. You can't wait to host, share your home, show off your city, do those fun activities you've planned, and just hang out. Who's this new friend? Someone you met on Adopted Adults.

Something to do, somewhere to go
Every adoption is a plan somebody made: a place to stay, a few nights, and the days already mapped out.
step one
List your home.
This isn't Airbnb. You're not after passive income, you're building friendships all over the world. Find the spare space in your place and let friends stay for free. You set this up once, and every adoption you offer reuses it. We're not picky about what it is.
Extra bedroom.
Guesthouse.
Spare couch.
Guest suite.
Finished basement.
Even a camper.
step two
Offer an adoption, not just a room.
This isn't Couchsurfing. You don't just hand over a key and disappear. Each adoption is one specific stay you plan, full of your favorite local things, with rules that keep it comfortable. Offer a few: a summer on the water, a cozy winter weekend, whatever you love sharing most.
Take 'em hiking.
Do a food tour.
Plan a boat day.
Catch a movie.
Throw a dinner party.
Lose it at a concert.
step three
Watch the convos roll in.
A family from Zurich. A couple from Iowa. A daycare teacher from Paris. It doesn't matter who, you'll meet people you genuinely click with and never would've crossed paths with otherwise. When you're sure, agree on dates and you both confirm. A video call first is always a good idea.
Browse their profiles.
Chat it up.
Hop on a video call.
Say yes to the ones you click with.
Become friends, digitally.
Then go visit them.
Who you'd click with
The people asking to come, and what you’d have in common.
