About Us
Rent a Local Friend is a global platform that connects people who love to travel with those who are passionate about where they live and have a great story to tell. More than just an outing, we support the sharing of local tips, information that will be revealed in no travel book or guide and last but certainly not least the essence of each local culture and spirit.
All of this is done in a spontaneous, genuine, collaborative, and interest based way allowing people to connect with those with whom they share similarities or own characteristics that will allow an unique and authentic immersion in the visiting destination.
Local Friends are journalists, photographers, chefs, designers…from all over the world, who like to host foreign visitors and show them their favorite local spots in the city. For people who want to explore different cities as a traveler, not as a tourist, this is a fun alternative way of exploring a new place.
mission
Every place hides experiences that are begging to be lived. Our mission is to dig out these experiences, like miners for hidden gems, and, make them accessible to our community, working as a catalyst for happy moments. We will continue to improve the way we connect travelling souls with their passions far and wide.
Values
The world is better connected. Connecting with other human beings in a meaningful way is what gives us a sense of purpose. And few things touch our humane side as much as travelling and experiencing other cultures.
