Your next work trip doesn't have to be a lonely, expensive box. Stay with a friend or colleague through Roamr - pocket ~35% of the hotel cost, help your company save up to 30%, and actually enjoy the trip.
You already know the routine. The early flight. The cab to a hotel that looks identical to the last one. The $19 club sandwich eaten alone over your laptop. The morning scramble to photograph receipts before you forget. And at the end of it, the only thing you've personally gained is exhaustion and a backlog of expense reports.
Meanwhile your company is quietly spending a small fortune. A single business trip can run well over $1,750 in lodging alone - money that vanishes into a hotel chain and benefits no one you'll ever meet. It's the definition of a lose-lose: you're drained, and the budget's gone.
Roamr breaks that pattern with one simple idea: pay employees, not hotels. When your next trip lines up with a city where you have a friend or colleague, you stay with them instead. The money that would have disappeared into a hotel is split three ways - you earn roughly 35%, your host earns roughly 35%, and your company keeps the rest as savings of up to 30%.
Same trip. Same work. Completely different outcome. Instead of a sterile room and a zero balance, you get a real bed in a real home, a friend to catch up with over dinner, and about $525 in your pocket. It's not a hack or a loophole - it's a smarter model that thousands of professionals across 100+ countries already use.
Three steps. No hotels. No awkward money conversations. Just connection and cash.
Your company domain unlocks Roamr in seconds. No card, no commitment - staying with a friend is always free for you.
Heading somewhere a friend or teammate lives? Book the stay in the app. We auto-generate the invoice and sort the paperwork.
You and your host each earn ~35% of what the hotel would have cost. Your company saves up to 30%. Payouts run securely through Stripe.
Nobody loses. You win, your friend wins, your company wins. That's why finance and employees finally agree on something.
Pocket roughly a third of the displaced hotel cost - about $525 on a typical $1,750 trip - for staying somewhere you'd probably rather be anyway.
Invite a friend or colleague to host you and they earn the same ~35%. Their spare room finally pays them back.
Finance loves it: travel spend drops up to 30% with rates they control. You become the employee who saved money AND had a better trip.
“My friend and I even earned extra - it was a win-win. The platform was effortless, and it completely changed how I think about work travel.”

You don't fly across the country to eat a $19 club sandwich alone. You go to do great work - and the trip should add to your life, not drain it.
All the upside of staying with people you know - none of the hassle or risk.
Every stay includes integrated insurance and a damage-protection guarantee covering both guest and host. Travel worry-free.
Earnings land securely through Stripe. No chasing, no awkward Venmo requests with friends - it's handled automatically.
Roamr's vetted community spans over a hundred countries, so wherever work sends you, there's likely a friendly door to knock on.
It's a win-win, not a favor - your host earns the same ~35% you do. And because Roamr runs every payment through Stripe automatically, there's no cash changing hands between you. You're not mooching; you're both getting paid.
Not even close. These are real, vetted stays with people you choose, every one covered by integrated insurance and a damage-protection guarantee. It's a professional travel platform - used by teams at Deel, Dealfront, Protex AI and Kota - that happens to be far more human than a hotel.
It's built for them. Finance teams adopt Roamr precisely because it cuts travel spend up to 30% with rates they control. You staying with a friend is the thing that saves them money - so it's usually an enthusiastic yes.
Booking takes less time than a hotel, the invoice generates itself, and you walk away ~$525 richer per trip. The 'effort' is two taps. The payoff is real money and a better trip.
Drag the slider. Most frequent travelers are leaving thousands on the table by defaulting to hotels.
Based on an average $1,750 trip. Your host earns the same, and your company still saves ~30%.
Over a thousand professionals are getting paid to travel differently. Here's what they say.
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.
Everything you need to know before your first paid stay.
Join free with your work email, book a stay with a friend or colleague, and start getting paid to travel. It takes two minutes.
Sign Up Free — Get Paid →For decades, the model was simple and unquestioned: the company books a hotel, the hotel keeps the money, and you get a key card and a complimentary tiny shampoo. Nobody loved it, but nobody challenged it either. Roamr challenges it. The single most expensive part of most business trips - the bed - is also the part that benefits you the least. Redirect that money and suddenly the same trip pays you, rewards a friend, and saves your employer up to 30%.
The numbers are not small. A typical work-trip hotel runs around $1,750. Roughly 35% of that - about $525 - lands in your pocket on a single trip. Travel a couple of times a month and you're looking at five figures a year, tax of your time you were already spending. It compounds quietly, trip after trip, into something that genuinely changes your finances.
But the money is only half of it. The other half is what work travel feels like. A friend's spare room instead of a silent hotel hallway. Dinner with someone you actually know instead of a sad room-service tray. A local who can tell you where to go instead of a concierge pushing a chain restaurant. Roamr makes work travel human again - and pays you for the upgrade. That's why over a thousand professionals in 100+ countries have already made the switch.
No subscription, no catch. Joining Roamr costs you nothing and starts paying you on your very first stay.
~35% of the displaced hotel cost on every stay, paid out securely through Stripe.
Choose friends or colleagues - never strangers - in cities you're already visiting.
Integrated insurance and a damage-protection guarantee cover both you and your host, every time.
Invoices generate automatically. No receipts to chase, no expense-report gymnastics.
Roamrs in 100+ countries, so there's almost always a friendly door wherever work sends you.
Built for finance and people teams, already trusted at Deel, Dealfront, Protex AI and Kota.
Here is the honest pitch, with no asterisks. Joining Roamr is free. Staying with a friend or colleague is free to you. Every stay is insured and damage-protected. Payouts are handled by Stripe. And on a typical trip you walk away with about $525 you would never have seen otherwise. There is no subscription, no lock-in, and no penalty for booking a hotel when that makes more sense. You quite literally cannot lose money by joining - you can only start earning it.
So the only real question is how many trips you have coming up. Each one you take the old way is roughly $525 handed to a hotel instead of to you, and one more lonely night instead of an evening with someone you like. The travelers who switch almost never switch back - not because of a clever contract, but because once you have been paid to stay with a friend, paying a hotel to feel disconnected stops making any sense at all.
