Kindred Circles

Kindred Circles expands Kindred’s overarching mission - making travel more accessible, connected, and richer - by connecting you with your Kindred spirits around the world.

Kindred Circles make it possible to travel like you have friends in every city — linking people all over the world with shared identities, interests, or passions. Circles don’t replace the global community you know - they’re optional sub-communities you can join to add a layer of personal curation and connection.

Members can discover homes from other Circle members more easily, choose to host exclusively within the Circle, and connect through the in-app community to share travel advice, meet fellow travelers, and build meaningful connections along the way.

Today, Kindred offers Circles for a growing number of communities:

• Families Circle — A community for families with kids under 18. Members can swap to family homes setup with everything they need. Find multi-room properties with kitchens and black out blinds. No need to lug the noise machine, toys, or Pack 'n Play, too.
  
  • Join the Families Circle here: livekindred.com/c/families
• Women Travelers Circle — A community for women and non-binary members who want an additional layer of trust and connection while traveling. Members can discover homes from other Circle members, choose to host exclusively within the Circle, and connect through community features.
  • Join the Women Travelers Circle here: livekindred.com/c/women
• Professional Network Circles — Communities built around existing workplace networks, where shared affiliation creates an added layer of trust and accountability. Today, these include Circles for current and former Googlers and Meta employees, with more professional communities coming soon.
  • Join the Meta Circle here: livekindred.com/c/meta
  • Join the Google Circle here: livekindred.com/c/google

This is just the beginning. Our goal is to make it possible to travel like you have friends in every city - linking people all over the world with shared identities, interests, or passions.

The Women Travelers Circle is open to women and non-binary individuals who are the primary account holder on a Kindred membership. Members who live with partners are welcome to join, provided they are the primary account holder.

When traveling to homes available to the Women Travelers Circle only, you must be traveling solo or with other women.

If you're already a Kindred member, click “Already a Kindred member? Log in” and sign in using the same email address associated with your existing Kindred account.

At the moment, members can join one Circle at a time. We're planning to support multiple Circle memberships in the future.

Our same referral incentive, 2 credits per verified referral, is still applicable for new Kindred members you invite to a Circle. Referring an existing member to the Circle will not earn you any credits.

Joining a Circle means that you can make your home available to:

• all Kindred members, or
• only members of that Circle

If you choose the Circle-only setting, only verified Circle members will see your home availability, be able to message you, or request a stay.

You will be able to choose who to make your home available to when adding availability, and you can update this setting any time in your Host tab.

No. Joining a Circle doesn't limit where you can travel. You'll still be able to book any eligible home on Kindred, while homes from your Circle will be prioritized in your search results to help you discover them more easily.

Not at all. Joining a Circle doesn't limit where you can travel. You'll still be able to book from any of the 300,000+ homes on Kindred. Homes available to only others exclusively in the Circle will be prioritized in your search results and clearly marked with ‘Exclusive to [circle name]’ to help you discover them more easily.

Once you've joined and verified your Circle membership, to see other homes part of your circle, you can filter for them in your search filters. Or you can go to the Community tab and browse members from there.

The Community tab is a new feature being piloted with the Women Travelers Circle. It gives members a dedicated space to chat, share travel recommendations, ask questions, coordinate trips, and connect with other members—all directly within the Kindred app.
