Misterb&b adds in-app social network for LGBTQ+ travelers

Misterb&b, an LGBTQ+-centric travel accommodation and experience booking platform, is adding a new social network to its app.

Known as Weere, the service is intended to help LGBTQ+ travelers meet one another and also meet locals in destinations they are visiting. 

And since 70% of Misterb&b’s users are solo travelers, the company said Weere will enable them to plan shared trips and split costs.

“Misterb&b's mission is deeply rooted in the belief that every LGBTQ+ individual deserves a sense of belonging, especially when faced with the isolation and loneliness that can be so prevalent in our community,” said Matthieu Jost, co-founder of Misterb&b.

“With the introduction of Weere, our goal is to create a vibrant community that not only connects LGBTQ+ travelers worldwide, but also provides a sanctuary where they can find solace, forge lasting friendships and create cherished memories together, ensuring no one feels alone on their journey.”

Founded in 2014, Misterb&b provides more than one million listings of LGBTA+-owned rooms and apartments as well as LGBTQ+-friendly hotels.

In January Expedia Group announced Misterb&b is one of the startups in its inaugural Open World Accelerator program.
