Freebird Club

Social travel and homestay club for over 50s. Our mission is to connect mature explorers at home and away through meaningful travel and social experiences.

The Freebird Club is a new travel-based social network for older adults. It will operate as a peer-to-peer, social travel & home-stay club for the over 50s - offering a whole new way of travelling for older adults, a potential new source of income for hosts, and a fun and accessible way to meet new people and enjoy companionship in later life. It will be a membership-based club, whereby senior mem

ber hosts can make their spare rooms available to fellow senior guests to come and stay for a nightly rate. By doing so, they can unlock some of the asset value tied up in their homes when they most need it.
