HerHouse

HerHouse is a travel community and platform founded by Tess Milholland that connects background-checked solo female travelers with verified accommodations, travel partners, and community events. The company emerged from Milholland's own experiences and the broader gap in the travel industry: most hospitality and safety tools are designed for groups or couples, leaving solo women travelers navigating safety concerns, loneliness, and logistical challenges without adequate support.

HerHouse builds trust through rigorous background checks on hosts and community members, verified reviews, and a vetted network of women-friendly accommodations. The platform goes beyond listings—it fosters genuine connections through group trips, meetups, and a social network of travelers who can coordinate trips and share safety intelligence.

The brand's mission is to make solo female travel accessible, safe, and social. Milholland targets the $3 trillion women's travel market, which has grown faster than the broader travel industry but remains underserved by mainstream platforms. HerHouse is building a community-first model that prioritizes safety and connection over transaction volume.
