šŸ’” What is jeurney.com?

jeurney.com is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace for stays and spaces—similar to Airbnb or Vrbo, but built differently. We prioritize fairness, affordability, and digital independence. Our platform uses non-US technologies wherever possible to reduce dependence on Big Tech, while offering a simple and respectful way to book or host.

🧭 How is jeurney.com different from other platforms?
  • Lower fees for both hosts and guests.
  • Independent tech choices that prioritize privacy and autonomy.
  • Community-first values—no surprise costs, no extractive business model.

We believe travel should empower local economies, not exploit them.

šŸ¤“ What’s with the name? Can’t you spell?

jeurney.com is a play on the joy of the journey and our european anchoring. Hence, jEURney.com

šŸ› ļø Is jeurney.com open for bookings?

Not yet! We’re launching soon. Right now, we’re collecting interest from early hosts and guests. You can sign up for our newsletter at jeurney.com to be the first to know when we open our doors.

🌐 Why are you using non-US technologies?

We believe in digital sovereignty. Many current platforms are tightly integrated with or owned by US-based Big Tech. By building on independent, non-US alternatives where we can, we offer a platform that respects user autonomy, local data laws, and innovation.

šŸ’ø Will jeurney.com really be cheaper?

Yes. We’ll charge fair, transparent fees—significantly lower than most major platforms. Because we’re not VC-backed or aiming to dominate the market, we can focus on building a sustainable, community-driven service instead.

šŸ’¶ How much will you charge?

We don’t know yet, but it will be less than the big platforms, perhaps only half. The charges from our tech partners and providers can be significant, but we will limit our cut as much as we can.

šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ŗ Where will you launch?

We are still working on that, but our working assumption is that we will initially focus on Europe and if all goes well, expand into other select geographies.

šŸ” Can I become a host?

Yes, soon! If you have a space to share—whether it’s a flat, house, cabin, studio, or something unique—we’d love to have you on board. Listing will be simple, and you’ll always stay in control of your space and pricing.

šŸ“© How can I stay in the loop?

Easy! Head over to jeurney.com and sign up for our newsletter. You’ll get updates about our launch, hosting opportunities, and sneak peeks at new features.
