How we know we are succeeding as a company

In OpenRoom, we do not promote travel as a way to escape our "problems" or as an aspirational thing. We see travel for what it truly is. A way to share an experience, either alone, with a couple, or with friends and family. A way to understand a new culture and open our mind to the unknown. Not as a way to "be happy", but as a way to start seeing every day of our lives as a "vacation".

We will know we fulfilled our mission if we start seeing a trip for what it truly is, an amazing experience, and realizing that what makes this experience amazing and beautiful has been and always will be inside us.

The journey of building OpenRoom has been amazing and fun. It has helped us realize that the laugh of a friend or the smile of our partner is not beautiful; it is beauty in and of itself.

Help us connect awesome Hosts with awesome Users so we can collectively share these experiences and thus move on to healing our planet.
