Abroadly is a global interactive website (mobile app coming soon) that connects backpackers, travelers, working holiday makers, and international students to the local community.

Our online platform acts as a bridge to help travelers find free accommodation from individuals, families, or organizations known as Local Hosts through help, cultural exchange, or both.

In simple terms, help exchange means a Local Host offers a spare bedroom, granny flat, vacant property, farm stay, home stay, hostel stay, etc. In exchange for the free accommodation, the travelers or working holiday makers help with tasks like babysitting, cleaning, cooking, gardening, farming, house sitting, volunteering, and so on.
