Our Story
We are a young group of friends, travelers, entrepreneurs, creatives & software engineers that are all on a mission to make traveling cheaper & safer for everyone.
After living across 4 different continents, we realised the importance of having friends everywhere in the world. More often than not, the friends of our friends were people who we had a blast with when we would hang out together on our travels. We thought we could leverage the thousands of connections we have at our fingertips to enhance the travel experience of both the traveller and the host. This idea blossomed into Friend Theory.
So we all quit our jobs and moved to the Land Down Under in Australia to turn our idea into reality. We didn’t have any money, so we had to work from a storage room at a university and do anything to spend less.

With little resources and a lot of passion, we launched a very buggy version of the platform which to our surprise, went viral! - Within a month after launching our community grew to over 130 countries & like minded people from all over the world started offering to help.

We were eager to meet our users & keen to put our platform to the test, so we travelled from Australia to Europe and set ourselves a challenge: Spend 40 days staying with friends’ friends, only using Friend Theory to find accommodation!
It worked! And now here we are, doing what we love, having fun and building a platform that will make traveling cheaper, safer for everyone.
