How to Book a Trip
At Stomex, we make it effortless for students to discover new destinations, build meaningful connections, and create unforgettable memories—all within a trusted student community. Here's how it works:
Complete Your Profiles
- Personal Profile: Let others get to know the real you. Share your passions, interests, and what you're looking for in this journey.
- Home Profile: For swaps or hosting, showcase your space and what makes it an ideal stop for fellow students.
Explore or Share Your Travel Plans
- Browse Posts: Search for your perfect match by filtering for location, travel dates, type of experience, gender preferences, and number of roommates.
- Create a Post: Share your travel opportunities! Select your travel type, set dates, write a descriptive title, and add pricing details if hosting a couch for cash.
Connect with the Perfect Match
- All connection requests go through our admin team for security and safety. While this may take a little longer, it ensures that every interaction is safe and respectful for both parties.
- Once approved, start chatting with your potential travel buddy or host to get to know them and build trust.
Confirm and Coordinate
- When both sides agree, our admin team sets up a group chat with all participants. Use this space to discuss trip details, including transportation, house rules, and any questions to ensure a smooth experience. While this may take a little longer, it ensures that every interaction is safe and respectful for both parties.

How are roommates involved?
At Stomex, we believe that everyone in the home contributes to the travel experience. That's why we invite roommates to be part of the journey!
Create a Guest-Only Profile
Your roommates can set up a guest-only profile to enhance communication and connection:
Guests can learn more about everyone in the household, making it easier to find common interests and values.
A more connected home fosters trust and creates memorable, shared experiences.
