Join the Kindred community for an art and atmosphere event, hosted by member Esther. This gathering is designed to help you connect with your local Kindred community, swap travel and hosting stories, share tips, and ask questions about Kindred directly with fellow members. Whether you are a seasoned host, a curious traveler, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here.

🎨 Activity details

  • Spend a relaxing afternoon painting with watercolors and connecting with fellow Kindred members in a cozy, creative setting. Watercolor supplies will be provided, so all you need to bring is your creativity. If you'd like, you're also welcome to bring your favorite snack or beverage to enjoy while you paint.
  • Please note that a friendly kitten lives in the apartment, so this gathering may not be the best fit for anyone with cat allergies.
  • All watercolor painting supplies and a welcoming space to create, unwind, and connect with others.

📍 Where

  • Esther's home

This gathering is part of Kindred’s ongoing effort to help members connect locally through simple, repeatable moments of togetherness. Hosting and traveling through Kindred is about trust, generosity, and real human connection, and this is a chance to experience that spirit in person.

Whether you’re brand new or have been part of the community for years, we’d love to see you there.

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. 🌎 Website: www.livekindred.com | 📲 Follow on Socials: @livekindred

About your host

✨ Esther is a New York City based wedding filmmaker, a social media creative for plastic surgeons, and a budding indie folk musician whose days often unfold between cities and Kindred homes, collecting stories along the way.

She is drawn to the quiet art of hosting, creating spaces that feel warm, intentional, and gently alive with good people and meaningful conversation. Together with her dear friend Austin, she opens her home for a 2026 Vision Board and Intention Setting Night, inviting others into a shared moment to imagine, to ground, and to begin again.
