About the organizer
Kindred is a community of people who open their homes to one another, not as transactions, but as an exchange of trust.
Through a simple credit system, members travel by hosting and staying in each other’s spaces, making the world feel more accessible, more human, and a little closer than before. It’s a different way to move through the world, one shaped by generosity, care, and the stories we carry with us.

About your hosts
✨ Amélie has lived between France, Los Angeles, and now New York, collecting homes and stories along the way. With over 100 nights on Kindred, she brings a quiet confidence in opening her space and discovering new places through food, design, and human connection.
✨ Bob is based in Brooklyn, grounded in family, movement, and a deep belief in connection. Whether he’s running with his clubs, playing in sports leagues, or trying something new, he brings curiosity and openness into every stay and every exchange.
✨ Hatnim opens her home as an invitation into New York itself. Curious and creative, she collects art, captures moments through photography, and finds joy in sharing the rhythm and energy of the city with others.
