“Listing my spare room on LOTEL completely transformed my finances. Sharing tips about our local hiking trails feels natural, cooking is my passion, and serving local cuisine to my Explorers makes me happy — I earn approximately 4,000 CHF extra per month doing it.”

“Switzerland can get expensive fast, but my Local Buddy helped me map out local grocery stores and hidden transit hacks. I saved 500 CHF during a 7-day trip while enjoying a completely smooth, stress-free experience — tried local food at my Local Buddy's place and drove along with them too.”
