Stephen here, Founder of Roamr—and today, I’m beyond excited to introduce Roamr for Friends to you all!
Work travel has always been broken. Expensive hotels, lonely stays, and zero financial benefit for employees. Meanwhile, companies are burning cash on accommodation with rising hotel prices. Instead, employees could be staying with people they actually know and trust.
That’s why we built Roamr for Friends—a super simple way for employees to stay with friends instead of hotels—and get paid for it. 💰 Your company saves money, you and your host earn a kickback, and work travel actually becomes enjoyable.
We’re already working with companies like Deel, Remote, and Oyster to help their people rethink work travel, and today, Roamr is live in 100+ countries! 🌍
This idea started when @jason_o_gorman1 and I saw the radical shift in the way we work. Distributed work means teams are more global and while that is great for flexibility, we need to meet regularly in person to build culture, collaboration and engagement. However, that costs a fortune nowadays. We found a win-win-win.
We’re thrilled to launch this to the Product Hunt community and would love to have some of you test the product on your next trip! Excited to hear your feedback, and help us make work travel more rewarding! 🚀

@jason_o_gorman1 @stephen_dooley1 amazing concept, well done on putting this together. Smart idea to incentivise employees to get savings.
@jason_o_gorman1 @stephen_dooley1 great idea, all the best!
@jason_o_gorman1 @stephen_dooley1 fantastic folks, great launch and awesome looking product!
@jason_o_gorman1 @stephen_dooley1 This is genius! I've been on both sides of the coin as an employer paying for the travel and as an employee travelling! Such a win-win.
Congrats on the launch!
Great idea! This could save companies a lot while giving employees an incentive to stay with friends. May be there's an opportunity here to take it further by encouraging economy flights over business class?
This is great, not only the money saving but also the opportunity to create greater connections between employees who stay together. Will definitely be trying this out
@stephen_dooley1 I’ve just sent this on to some friends who travel a lot for work, one who oversees travel in their company (large org). I’ve just connected with you on LinkedIn and will let you know their feedback/make some intros!
Love this concept allowing people to create more human interactions with colleagues, all while saving money! No brainer really.
@jake_spelman Thanks Jake! You've hit the nail on the head, that's exactly our mission here at Roamr. We felt the changing ways we work created opportunity for flexibility but we are still human and still need to have that in person experience every so often!
I love how this has expanded to friends...so much more inventory to choose from! Now I just need some friends :)...Any tips on the best way to show your appreciation after staying in a friends house?
@rskelley75 Hey Rick! You're always welcome in Donegal!
As for best way to show appreciation, it's very subjective but for me it's chocolate! And of course being a considerate guest.
Congrats @stephen_dooley1 and @Roamr for Friends team. I've had the privileged of using the product to host and to be hosted - excited to see more people discovering Roamr. No brainer!!
This is such an amazing concept. There aren't a lot of ecosystems that are truly win-win-win but this just makes so much sense for travelers, hosts and employers. I was a member in the early access and would HIGHLY recommend Roamr to anyone who travels for work, to companies that want to travel without breaking the bank and to anyone with some spare space that they want to monetize easily.
@jim_coughlin Woohoo, thanks for the support Jim!
