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
Browse adoptions.
Find an adoption that fits you. An adopter often offers a few, like a summer week on the water or a cozy winter weekend, and every adoption lays out the itinerary, the space, the house rules, and who you'd be living with, so nothing's a surprise when you land.
Your sleeping space.
Itinerary highlights.
Photos of everything.
House rules up front.
Who you'd live with.
Allergies and needs.
step two
Connect and confirm.
Send a short, honest note: who you are, why this adoption, and why their profile clicked. That starts the conversation. Ask your questions, talk through dates, and jump on a video call in the app if you want one. You both verify your ID before dates are set, so nobody locks in a stay anonymously. Once you both confirm, it's on. Go pack a bag.
Talk about yourself.
Share mutual interests.
Say what drew you in.
Trade pics and videos.
Hop on a video call.
Both confirm, it's locked.
step three
Then live it up together.
This is the whole point. Your new friend already has a plan, and they show you the side of their city a visitor never finds. Good luck booking that.
Hit the trails together.
Eat where locals eat.
Spend a day on the water.
Movie night in.
Dinner with their friends.
Catch a show.
