I’ve always had the itch to build something of my own. I’ve started things, failed at things, learned from all of it and kept going. After years working in staffing, I picked up a lot about how people move, live, and make decisions… but something always felt off. Then I became a parent.

Travel flipped overnight. It wasn’t just about booking a cool place anymore it had to actually work for us. Somewhere safe, affordable, with space to breathe. But with travel prices up nearly 40% since 2019, Airbnb’s fees getting ridiculous, and hotels charging extra for everything, I found myself asking: why is this so expensive and why hasn’t anyone fixed it?

That’s where hoppswap came from. A way to swap homes with people like you no nightly fees, no fluff, just real homes, real savings, and a way to travel that actually makes sense.
