Kindred Lisbon: Happy Hour for Queer Travelers
Have you heard the news? We just launched our Queer Travelers Circle, a dedicated community for individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ looking to swap homes with other queer people around the world. And we thought that was worth celebrating IRL.
What makes a place feel like home, especially when you're queer, traveling, or building a life somewhere new?
Join Kindred members, John-Michael and Brett for a relaxed gathering of Lisbon's Queer Travelers Circle to share a drink, enjoy some light bites, and swap stories about belonging, meaningful connections, and the places we've come to call home. Hear how Kindred helped turn a three-month stay in Lisbon into a lasting sense of home and friendship, and discover how we can create that same welcome for others.
Why come:
Learn about Kindred and the new Queer Travelers Circle straight from members already using it
Meet fellow LGBTQ+ travelers in your local Kindred community
Discover how Kindred and the Queer Travelers Circle can open doors to meaningful travel and community
Share stories about home, belonging, and the connections that make a place special—if you'd like, bring a photo, a small object, or a story that represents home to you.
Enjoy a relaxed evening with light bites, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks
Hosting and traveling through Kindred is about trust, generosity, and real connection—come experience that in person. Whether you're interested in joining, brand new, or been here for years, we'd love to see you. +1s are welcome and encouraged with their own RSVP!

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.

About your hosts
✨ John-Michael and Brett are two dancers, one retired, who travel the world for work with their Brussels Griffon, Otis. Avid Kindred members, they’ve spent over 300 nights hosting and traveling, building community wherever they go. Grateful to be part of a network of generous, kind humans, they believe it matters to be in a home, and to offer a home, to queer people, so they can be witnessed for who they are.
