HerHouse Launches Global Platform to Connect Solo Women Travelers with Safe Hosts Worldwide

Live on Kickstarter, HerHouse is an app that helps solo women travelers connect with background checked female hosts so they have safe places to stay and save money.

San Antonio, TX, May 1, 2025 /MarketersMEDIA/ — HerHouse, a revolutionary new platform connecting solo women travelers with trusted hosts around the world, is live on global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and raising funds to build a safer, more empowering world for women on the move.

Solo female travel is on the rise, with millions of women setting off to explore the world independently. But safety remains a major concern—with more than 8 in 10 women reporting feeling unsafe or threatened when traveling alone. HerHouse aims to change that by building a global directory of female hosts who open their doors to fellow women travelers, creating a circle of care and mutual support that spans borders.

“After I solo backpacked through Australia in 2017, it became clear to me that solo women travelers need a way to easily connect with safe local women for friendship, accommodation, and support while traveling alone,” says founder and CEO Tess Millhollon on the inspiration behind the project. “I personally loved staying with locals while abroad not only because it gave me a safe, free place to sleep, but it also gave me a truly immersive experience of seeing the country through the eyes of a local. It showed me what it would be like to live there and I became one of them- not just a tourist. They often introduced me to their friends and family in the area so I had a growing network of local friends while I was traveling solo.”

Key features of HerHouse include:

Verified Host Network: A growing global directory of female hosts offering safe accommodations to other women travelers, backed by robust verification and reviews.
Women-Only Community: Both hosts and guests are women, creating a space specifically designed to prioritize safety, comfort, and shared experience.
Three Free Accommodation Options: Members in HerHouse can stay with others for short visits, but they can also offer their homes for home sitting and home swapping opportunities- giving hosts a verified house sitter and traveler a free place to stay in a new country.
Safety-First Design: HerHouse prioritizes safety through verified hosts, optional emergency contact sharing, and community guidelines that foster a respectful, secure travel experience for women.
Designed for Real Connection: HerHouse emphasizes genuine hospitality and shared values, offering more than a place to sleep—it’s a chance to connect, converse, and belong.

“While speaking to many friends about my travels back at home I realized that this kind of immersive solo travel is an experience many women want. However, they don’t know anyone in the new countries and are really scared to travel alone. We’re all nervous about our safety- specifically safety in our accommodation. They don’t know how to find local women to connect with whom they could trust enough to stay in their home. Plus men can pose as anyone online and personal networking can only go so far,” adds Millhollon. “Creating an exclusive app community was the perfect answer to the cries of the solo traveling community. All members inside HerHouse have a passing criminal background check and we bring them together to network, develop real friendships, and host each other in every corner of the world.”

HerHouse is offering Lifetime Memberships with unlimited free accommodation in their global community exclusively during their Kickstarter campaign: www.kickstarter.com/projects/924355256/herhouse-connecting-solo-women-travelers-with-safe-hosts/
