Occasional flyer or full-time road warrior, brand-new hire or seasoned nomad - if you travel for work, staying with friends instead of hotels puts money in your pocket and makes the trip better. Find the version that fits you.
to get paid to travel - pick yours
Roamr is built on a single, simple idea: pay employees, not hotels. When a work trip lines up with a city where you have a friend or colleague, you stay with them. The money that would have gone to a hotel is shared - you earn about 35%, your host earns about 35%, and your company saves up to 30%.
But “how you travel” changes everything about why it matters to you. For someone who flies twice a year, it’s a delightful $525 surprise and a far better night. For someone living out of a suitcase, it’s a five-figure income stream and an escape from hotel burnout. For a remote pro, it’s the key to turning a three-day trip into two weeks somewhere beautiful. For a nervous new hire, it’s the end of fronting costs they can’t afford and the fastest way to belong.

Roamr redefined how I travel for work. Staying with a friend felt personal, my company was happy because they saved money, and my friend and I even earned extra. The platform was effortless. I genuinely recommend it to anyone who travels for work.
Earned $525 on his last tripA last-minute trip to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day went from near-disaster to magical, all thanks to staying with people through Roamr. Serendipitous, unforgettable, and I came home with money in my pocket.
Saved his company $300We feel like we hit the jackpot with Roamr. Two weeks working remotely from one of Ireland's most beautiful regions was a privilege — and it cost a fraction of what a hotel would have. The whole thing was seamless.
Earned $540We saw Roamr as a smart way to give more to employees, build culture, and save money at the same time. I've had an amazing experience as both a host and a guest.
Hosted 4 teammatesI'm on the road three weeks a month. Roamr turned that grind into real income — I've earned over $6,000 this year just by staying with friends instead of hotels.
$6,000+ this yearBooking was faster than a hotel and the invoice generated itself. One less expense report — sold.
My first offsite, I was stressed about fronting a hotel I couldn't really afford. A teammate hosted me through Roamr — no money up front, and I walked in already feeling like part of the team.
$0 out of pocketMy spare room used to sit empty. Now I host colleagues passing through and earn a few hundred each time. It's safe, it's insured, and I love the company.
$1,800 hostingI extended a 3-day work trip into ten days working from a friend's place in Spain. Roamr made it affordable AND paid me. Best decision I made all year.
I used to think staying with friends for work was weird. Then I did the math: ~$525 back per trip, plus actual human connection instead of another hotel bar. I was wrong.
$525 per tripStayed with a friend in Tokyo for a conference. Company saved, I earned, and I got a local's tour of the city. Hotels can't compete with that.
Effortless. I clicked, invited my friend, and we both got paid. Stripe handled everything. No awkward money conversations.
$510 earnedI've hosted six Roamr guests now — teammates and friends-of-friends. It's brought people into my city, strengthened friendships, and quietly added up to real money. The damage protection means I never worry.
$2,400 hostingBrand new to work travel and broke after rent. Roamr meant no fronting and I even earned a bit. Wish someone told me sooner.
A week with a friend in NYC instead of a $2,000 hotel. I pocketed $525, my company saved, and I had the best work trip of my life.
$525 earnedI cover four cities a month. Roamr basically turned my travel schedule into a second income stream while making the trips far less lonely.
For decades the model went unquestioned: the company books a hotel, the hotel keeps the money, you get a key card and a tiny shampoo. The single most expensive part of a business trip is also the part that does the least for you. Redirect that money and the same trip suddenly pays you, rewards a host, and saves your employer up to 30%.
The numbers aren't small. A typical work-trip hotel runs about $1,750, and roughly 35% of that - around $525 - can land in your pocket on a single stay. Travel a couple of times a month and that's five figures a year, for staying somewhere more comfortable than a hotel, with people you actually like.
And the money is only half of it. The other half is what travel feels like: a friend's spare room instead of a silent hotel hallway, dinner with someone you know instead of a sad room-service tray, a local who tells you where to go. Roamr makes work travel human again - and pays you for the upgrade. That's why over a thousand professionals across 100+ countries have already switched.
