Kindred is a members-only home swapping network that harnesses the power of a trusted community to unlock a lifestyle rich with travel and human connection. By exchanging homes and apartments with peers, both renters and owners alike can access the opportunity to travel between homes across North America and Europe. HOW IT WORKS Using Kindred is simple: you give a night to get a night. Members can swap homes 1-for-1, or book stays with credits earned by hosting others. For each night you host a member, you receive a credit to book a stay of your own at any Kindred home. Once booked, your Kindred concierge takes care of all of logistics to make hosting and staying a breeze - from professional cleaning, to providing access to our members-only hosting essentials marketplace - so you can focus on enjoying your trip.
