Kindred is the Best
I love Kindred. I have hosted couch Surfers for years. It is so nice to have something similar that allows me to trust people in my home while I'm not there. I could not recommend Kindred enough!

Awesome Travel Community
I have had several travel experiences on Kindred in the last 3 years as an early(ish) adopter. Each stay has been just as unique and delightful as the community members opening their homes for hosting. Highly recommend!
