Kindred Los Angeles: Griffith Park Hike for Women Travelers
Have you heard the news? We just launched our Women Travelers Circle, a dedicated community for women who want to swap homes with other women around the world.
So we're celebrating—with a Saturday morning hike through Griffith Park, followed by some cold drinks and conversation. Join fellow Kindred members Suzanne and Shawna for a scenic hike to the Griffith Observatory, where we'll take in iconic views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign. Afterward, we'll head back down and unwind with refreshments, travel stories, and meaningful conversation with the Kindred community.

About the organizer
Kindred is a members-only home-swapping network built on a close-knit community. We make travel more affordable and accessible by allowing you to earn credits for hosting others, either through swaps or while you're away. No money is exchanged between members; everything runs on a simple credit system. Instead of overpaying for rentals while your home sits empty, we empower our members to explore their next destination conveniently and affordably, while fostering a trusted community of people who seek to live a travel-rich lifestyle.
