How it works for travellers

A step-by-step guide to choosing a host, booking your stay and immersing yourself in the language.

1

Create your traveller profile

Signing up is free and takes 10–15 minutes. Your profile lets hosts see who they are inviting into their home.

  • Profile photo and basic details about you
  • An "about me" section — at least 100 words
  • The languages you speak and your level
  • Your travel dates and accommodation preferences
  • An identity document — for verification
2

Find the right host

Browse host profiles: photos of the home, the family description, languages spoken, the cultural programme and the price per night. Every host has a video introduction.

Filter by country, city and dates, save the ones you like to your favourites and compare them at your own pace.

Every host passes document verification before their profile goes live.
3

Send a booking request

Pick a room and your dates, say how many guests are coming and write the host a few words about yourself and what you want from the trip. A request commits you to nothing.

4

The host confirms your booking

Hosts reply within 24 hours. Once they confirm the dates you get a notification and move on to payment.

5

Pay securely

Payment goes through the platform. The money is only released to the host after you check in — until then it stays protected.

6

Arrive and live like a local

Your host meets you, shows you around the home and introduces the family. From there it is shared meals, daily conversation in the language and the cultural programme you chose.

That is all there is to it: choose a family, book your dates and live inside the culture — the language follows on its own.
