”BeeCommunity is StayingBee's open community — built for every member of the platform, regardless of background or affiliation. Meet your BeeAvatar, discover your compatibility insights, and start making genuine connections while you travel.”
Travel is better when it's human. Not transactional, not anonymous — but real, intentional, and built on genuine connection. That's always been the StayingBee way. And now, we're opening that up to everyone.
Introducing BeeCommunity.
BeeCommunity is a community open to every member of our platform, regardless of background or affiliation.
Most of our communities are rooted in college and university experiences — study abroad programs, student organizations, international networks you had to be part of back then to access now. If that wasn't your path, finding your place on StayingBee may have felt tricky.
That's exactly what BeeCommunity is for. Unlike our current communities (AIESEC, CEMS, Erasmus and more), BeeCommunity isn't built around a shared affiliation or background. Here, the common thread is your values, your personality, and the way you experience the world. Because not everyone fits neatly into a box — and why should they?
BeeCommunity follows the same StayingBee principles: safe, affordable, and deeply human travel experiences. For everyone.
BeeCommunity is open to all StayingBee members. If you’re not yet part of a community, already an active member or you’re completely new to the hive, BeeCommunity is for you.
The only requirement? You're a real person. BeeCommunity is built for individual travelers, hosts, and explorers. Not hotels, businesses, or commercial operators. To keep it that way, every member goes through BeeVerification before joining: a simple but thorough process that confirms you are who you say you are.
That way, you can be sure you're connecting with real people and you're helping build a genuine community.
Meet BeeAvatar — your StayingBee persona created just for BeeCommunity.
BeeAvatar is much more than your profile picture and bio, it’s a mix of your personality, interests, values, lifestyle, and travel preferences, all rolled into one unique Avatar. By taking a short quiz, you’ll find out what your BeeType is — social, thoughtful, creative and more! Use it to show fellow BeeCommunity members exactly who you are and how you travel. It's not about being perfect, it's about being honest, and being you.

Here’s a sneak peek!
Plus, your BeeAvatar does a lot more than show off your personality and preferences. It helps us create compatibility insights so we can match you with members you'll genuinely connect with.
By using insights from your BeeAvatar, our AI matching tool highlights your most compatible connections across BeeCommunity to help you make better, safer, and more intentional choices about who you host and stay with. For example, if you're a spontaneous traveler who loves spending lots of time with your host or guest, our tool will match you with someone who shares that same energy.
Our matching tool is only there to inform and guide you, not to make decisions for you. We don't block bookings based on compatibility. We just give you the information you need to make the best decision for you.
Human compatibility is what BeeCommunity is built on. While there’s no single shared background or affiliation that brings everyone together, our AI matching tool can help make the process a little easier.
Your next step starts here. Join BeeCommunity, create your BeeAvatar, and start making genuine connections while you travel.
Welcome to the hive. 🐝
