HI, WELCOME TO PODSHARE

WHERE YOU SHARE EVERYTHING – EXCEPT YOUR POD.

Welcome to the future of housing. Become a member of a housing network across the world, where you transfer your stay and not double pay for a home and hotel. 


We believe that housing is anywhere you lay your head. That doesn’t have to be a room, and it doesn’t have to be for a month. If you are sleeping somewhere for one night, that is your housing. 


The economic problem is having to pay for housing twice – for your long term lease and your hotel when you want/need to travel.

Travel is important for your mental health and for the local economy. 

If more people could see the world, they would. But there are cost prohibiters.


PodSharing solves that: live and work anywhere across our housing network by transferring your pod. If you are sleeping out then you don’t pay for that night. As the network grows, so do your access points.

Black text on white reads: “I don’t want to commit to one address, one roommate. I want to meet new places, new people.”

The core of our model is the open shared floor plan

PodShare is bridge housing or “try-before-you-buy” into a long-term lease

Staff hand-build each location and live across them. We implement rules that we live by - such as 10pm quiet hours, no outside guests (we have enough roommates), and zero tolerance for bullying, drug use or inebriation. We don’t care about your credit score or where you came from, so long as you are a respectful roommate and good person whilst PodSharing with us.
