Special Travel Services EXPLAINED
Both the Host & Visitor must be registered with SpecialTravelServices.com
Hosts list their property and "the experience" they are offering so Visitors may view and make a choice. When a Visitor makes a selection their profile is made available to the host in an anonymous format, meaning their name and contact details are not shown at this time. The host must feel that they would like the person in their home, and only when they confirm acceptance can the Visitor and Host make direct contact to make arrangements.
We do not discriminate! All are welcome from devout churchgoers to lifestylers, and our system allows for profile information that will assure that Host and Visitor are compatible. Although aimed at single people we would allow you to register and say in your profile that you are a couple.
specialtravelservices.com is a unique platform that connects travellers with local hosts who offer a more personalized and authentic stay experience. Unlike its competitors, Homestay.com and Airbnb.com, specialtravelservices.com charges a flat fee of $125 per year from the host. The $25 one-time onboarding charged to visitors is significantly lower than the 14 - 15% fees charged by Homestay.com and Airbnb.com.
specialtravelservices.com is a platform that offers a win-win situation for both hosts and visitors. With its affordable pricing model and focus on cultural immersion, friendship and companionship it provides a unique and wonderfully real experience that is unmatched by traditional accommodation options. Whether you are a host looking to meet new people or a traveller looking for an immersive travel experience, specialtravelservices.com is definitely worth considering.
INFORMATION THAT WE NEED - AND WHY
You will either be welcoming and stranger into your home or be going to spend a few days or more with someone unknown to you so we need to get it as right as we can.
Although we are not interested in your Politics, Religion, Abortion, LGBTQ2S+ we must ask you because you need to know that you will have synergy and not be in conflict with each other. We encourage you to post a recent photograph of yourself and when it comes to filling in the short bio make it as long and comprehensive as you can.
In Movies and TV, we are presented with beautiful almost surreal surroundings such as
Haussmann apartments in Paris, everyone in TV series seems to have one!
Idyllic English country villages, where many fictitious murders occur!
A Chateau in France. How much decadence here?
With the Lord of the Manor in the English countryside
Maybe a remote waterside cottage?
These are places not available as a tourist but could well be where the specialtravelservices.com host lives. You could choose to stay in rural England and probably visit the local pub with your host and mix with other local people in their territory in a way you could not do as a tourist.
In Paris you might well be a visitor in a beautiful apartment in the 16th arrondissement which is home to foreign embassies and renowned museums, including the Foundation Louis Vuitton and the Palais de Tokyo with its contemporary art. Hilly Passy, home to the city's wealthiest residents, features trendy restaurants and the Maison de Balzac, a house museum where the novelist once lived. Families head to the Bois de Boulogne for its boating lakes and kids theme park.
Wherever your destination with specialtravelservices.com you will stay in someone's home as if you were a visiting friend. Your host will include you in many activities and share with you their intimate knowledge of their region. This will involve taking you to places that are known and frequented by locals rather than by tourists. This provides a much more intimate experience and will ultimately leave you feeling that you have not only visited a place but learned about its culture and understood the ambience. You will take home memories that are totally different from those of a regular tourist.

The information we have is never shared with anyone. We have our own proprietary technology for storing data where all the information is broken down into encrypted data packets and stored in multiple different data tables. Only we can extract this data!
