Rent a Friend, by the Hour

314 Local Friends in 141 cities. Real people who live there and show you their city for a few hours: food, nightlife, a neighbourhood, a first weekend. You message them free and pay them directly. Roavi takes no commission.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a city

    Every city below has at least one Local Friend. The number is live.

  2. 2

    Read the profiles

    Languages, what they love, their hourly rate. Most list $15 to $50 an hour.

  3. 3

    Message, meet, pay them directly

    No booking fee and no commission. 18+ on both sides, platonic by rule.
