What we're looking for

Experience Hosts are passionate locals who can make people feel at home while they’re trying something new. They must meet these standards:

• Expertise: Having exceptional skill, ability, or background

• Access: Giving guests something they couldn’t do on their own

• Connection: Making meaningful interactions happen

Let’s go over them together in more detail.

Expertise

We’re looking for passionate storytellers who can share a unique perspective and insider knowledge.

This could include:

• Being a well-informed enthusiast

• Having specialized training

• Having achievements in your field

Guests value hosts with a distinctive point of view they can’t easily find elsewhere.

Have you hosted this activity before?

• Yes, I’ve hosted or taught this activity professionally

• Yes, I’ve hosted this activity informally for friends or family

• No, I’ve never hosted this activity before

Access

We’re looking for insiders who can show off a side of their city that visitors couldn’t find otherwise.

This could include:

• Places only locals know about

• Interesting people

• Special items that are hard to find

Guests love going beyond the typical tourist destinations.

Which of these best describes what you’ll do?

• It’s very unique—guests couldn’t do it without me

• Guests could do this on their own, but I bring a unique perspective to the activity

• Guests could do this on their own without me

Connection

We’re looking for warm and welcoming people who can build bridges and help everyone have fun.

This could include:

• Helping guests get to know each other

• Sharing personal stories

• Creating magical moments

Guests should ideally come as strangers and leave as friends.

Which of these sounds most like you?

• I love bringing people together and creating new friendships

• I enjoy sharing my personal experience with others

• I prefer not to get too personal with guests

Next, let's describe your experience

What will you and your guests do?

• Provide specific plans from start to finish, not multiple ideas or options

• Describe what makes your experience special—something that guests wouldn’t do on their own

How long is your experience?

You can always change this later.

Tell guests (and us) more about you

How are you hosting on DDH?

• Additional people will help me host the experience (Great! You’ll be able to add others to your experience as Co-Hosts or assistants after it’s published.)

What makes you uniquely qualified to host this experience?

Where should guests meet you?

Specific address of the location. No numbers missing.

Add details about what you’ll provide

You can provide food and drink, special equipment, a ticket to a concert, or anything else special to make your guests comfortable

Does your experience involve any one of the following?

• Motorcycling

• Flying (Plane, Helicopter, or Hot Air Balloon)

• My experience does not include any of these activities

Not providing anything for your guests?

Keep in mind

If you’re using an independent business or other third party to provide transportation or equipment for your experience, you should include the name of the business and any other information that might be helpful to the guest. This only applies to transportation and equipment providers - you don’t need to list things like food or drink providers (but you can if you want to!).

Tips

• Try to provide special equipment that is usually hard for guests to get on their own

• Keep food or drink dietary restrictions, and physical limitations for guests in mind

Will guests need to bring anything to the experience?

• Yes

• No
