What made your best trip your best trip?
It probably wasn't the room. It wasn't the bed, or even just the location.
It was what happened there — the people you met, the things you did, the moments you didn't plan for that just stand out in your memory, even now as you're reading this.
That's exactly what StayingBee Experiences was built for.
From city walking tours, museum visits, to group hikes, and even casual drinks with locals — Experiences lets StayingBee members create and join real-world activities no matter where they are in the world.
These aren't packaged tours, curated itineraries, or a day on a Hop on, Hop off bus. Just human people connecting in real places, the way they want to.
Whether you're passing through for a weekend or settling in for a month, StayingBee Experiences adds a layer to your trip that no itinerary can ever plan for.
It's not just about seeing a new place — but you also get to experience it with people from your community who get it. People who share your background, your values, and your curiosity.
You don't have to be a host or a guest to get involved.
Experiences are currently open to every user of the platform.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time guest, a seasoned host or someone who just wants to meet like-minded people in a new city — this is the place to meet your people.
Every experience is entirely shaped by its creator, which means no two are alike.
A morning hike. A street food crawl. A rooftop sunset with strangers who become friends. Whatever fits your passions, your city, and your vibe.
Not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas:
- A neighbourhood walk through the parts of your city tourists never find
- A casual coffee meetup for remote workers and people passing through
- A group visit to a local museum, market, or cultural event
- A cooking session where someone teaches the group a recipe from home
- A live music night at a spot only locals know about
- An evening of board games, good conversation, and even better company
It doesn't have to be elaborate. It just has to be something you'd genuinely enjoy doing with people who share your vibe.
The most memorable Experiences aren't usually the most polished ones. They're the ones that feel like a natural extension of who you are and the place you're in, around people you’re comfortable with.
Creating one is simple.
Have an idea? Here's how to bring it to life on the platform:
1. Sign up on the StayingBee website or app if you haven't already.
2. Tap the yellow + button on the bottom right of the page and select the ‘Experience’ option.
3. Fill in your Experience details across five sections:
- About — what your Experience is, who it's for, and what people can expect
- Schedule — the date, time, and duration
- Settings — set your preferences: free or paid, community-gated, private or public, age limit, etc
- Location — where it's happening
- Images — visuals that show people what they're signing up for
4. Preview your Experience to see exactly what it looks like to someone browsing and deciding whether to join.
5. Go live. Once you're happy with it, publish your Experience and it becomes visible to the right people on the platform.
6. Coordinate in your group chat. The moment your Experience goes live, a dedicated group chat is created for it on StayingBee. That's where you see and connect with everyone who's interested, answer questions, share updates, and build the energy leading up to the day.
You can also share your Experience directly with people you'd love to see there, because sometimes the best guests are the ones you personally invite.
And if anything changes? You can edit your Experience after it goes live — update the details, adjust the schedule, or add any last-minute information, all in one place.
No extra apps. Just people who said they'd be there, and are.

How to Browse and Join an Experience
Already in a new city or planning ahead for your next one? Finding an Experience to join is just as straightforward.
1. Sign in to the StayingBee app or website.
2. Head to the Explore tab and tap the filter button beside the search bar. Set the Explore type to Experiences.
3. Refine your search using the available filters — category, tags, schedule, and whether you want community-based Experiences only, or all public ones. This narrows things down to exactly what suits your taste.
4. Find your Experience. Browse what comes up, read through the details, and when one feels right — join.
5. You're in. Once you've joined, you'll be added to the Experience's group chat, where you can message the host directly, receive all the details you need, and connect with the other like-minded people who'll be there.
You can also share the Experience directly with friends you'd love to see there!
6. Show up. That's the part that matters most.
Because travel is more than a destination.
It's the people you meet along the way. The unexpected invitations. The conversations that go on longer than they should. StayingBee Experiences is how more of those moments happen. Not by chance, but by design. And it's one more way your community shows up for you, wherever you are in the world.
