An Exclusive Invitation

Become a Founding Host

Share your space. Tell your story. Shape the future of travel.

Your home isn’t just beautiful, it tells a story. Of a life well-lived, a point of view, a New York that can’t be Googled. Our guests don’t want another rooftop bar or tourist trap. They want you. Your art. Your records. Your books. Your stories. The energy that only a true New Yorker can give.

We design small, in-home gatherings for sophisticated travelers seeking meaningful connection, culture, and conversation. These are not “tours.” They’re moments that are crafted, felt, and remembered.

You set the vibe. We handle the logistics. You meet remarkable guests and future friends, including: artists, founders, thinkers, and seekers.

This isn’t about just about the money (though you’ll be paid). It’s about opening your doors to people who get it. Who get you. And walking away with a little more inspiration than you started with.

Because you are the experience. And people are ready to meet the real New York.

What’s in it for you?

  • Get paid $250–$800+ per experience
  • Payment amount varies based on the length, group size, and type of experience
  • Host on your own schedule
  • Play a part in redefining what it means to travel
