About Casa Casa
Welcome to Casa Casa, a new hospitality club for friendly travelers!
Do you love to travel, but wish it was more affordable? Is warm hospitality more appealing to you than a chain hotel room? Do you enjoy connecting with other people when you travel, and making new friends?
Then join the Casa Casa community of travelers! Casa Casa connects you with interesting people, and provides you access to comfortable, affordable accommodations that add value to your travel experiences. At Casa Casa, travel is about more than just your destination. This new way to travel is connecting with other people, making new friends and learning about the world together.
When you travel as a member of Casa Casa, you stay in the comfortable homes of other Casa Casa members and enjoy a home-cooked breakfast. In exchange, traveling members pay their gracious hosts a small gratuity. It’s like staying in a bed and breakfast, only better!
Our Members
Casa Casa members are people just like you–people who wish to live and travel more affordably.
They share an interest in connecting with like-minded people in their travels.
They want unique, low-impact travel options, and avoid cookie-cutter travel experiences.
They prefer a cozy guest room at the home of a friend to a dull, chain hotel room.
Above all, they are warm, friendly, travel-loving folks who you will enjoy meeting and getting to know.
We hope you will join Casa Casa and be a part of our growing community of travelers!
Why Casa Casa?
Hospitality exchange is a great way to travel, and is growing in popularity around the world. Casa Casa is different from other hospitality clubs because it is supported by real people ready to help you. Need help finding a host or arranging a homestay? We’re here to help you – just call or email us anytime! Casa Casa also sets a higher level of expectation for your homestay experience, and likewise, for your hosting services.
Are you already a member of another hospitality club? Join Casa Casa anyway. Many of our members choose to be a part of more than one hospitality club. They all offer different host locations, expectations and levels of service. (If you are already a member of the Affordable Travel Club, your first year with Casa Casa is free!)

About Us
Our names are Lauren and Brian, and we live and work in Seattle, Washington. Our love of travel is an important part of who we are and how we live our lives. When we travel, whether it is one state away or one continent away, we agree that it is connecting with local people and experiencing the places we go through these connections that make our experiences so rich and rewarding.
That’s why we started Casa Casa. It was just the sort of travel network we were looking for ourselves!
There are other hospitality exchange clubs. What makes Casa Casa unique? Our philosophy is different. As longtime fans of bed and breakfasts, we wanted to create a travel club where the expectations you have for your homestay experience are a bit higher. We also believe the hospitality exchange process should be supported, and that’s why we’re here. If you join Casa Casa and want assistance contacting a member or planning your stay with a host, we’re here to help you.
For years, we have admired a hospitality exchange network called the Affordable Travel Club, which is for people over the age of 40. We’re not quite there yet, and thus, could not join that network. However, the Affordable Travel Club is run by some close family members and friends, and they kindly helped us get started with Casa Casa, for which we are eternally grateful.
We hope Casa Casa can help you make new friends and lasting connections with wonderful people in your travels, both near and far. If you have any questions about Casa Casa, just contact us. We’re here to answer them.
