FAQ

Accommodation and facilities available will vary from one home to another. Hosts and visitors are free to negotiate the terms of the stay before the home visit is arranged.

Because Visit Someone aims to promote global friendship, registration and using the VA website is free of charge. We also expect that most of our hosts will provide accommodation for free. However, visitors can contribute to expenses if the host requires any financial contribution. Hosts may charge for Group visits.

All profiles on Visit Someone are viewed and scrutinised before they are allowed to be published on our site. As a host, you can publish proof of ID and address via your profile to ensure that visitors feel safe and comfortable before committing to their visit.

As a visitor, you can also ask for this information to be provided during your negotiations with the host, and match the information provided with the profile created. Web searches, viewing social media profiles, and conversations by phone or by email are also great ways to ensure that you feel comfortable before committing to either visiting a home or having someone visit you.
