Rehumanizing Housing: The 8 Pollen Principles

In a world where homes have become commodities, we collectively have both the opportunity and the responsibility to rehumanize housing transactions—and it starts with each of us.


Together, we are building a shared economy where human connection comes first, local cultures are honored, and the effects of expatriation and gentrification are consciously addressed.


As we aim to shape a community where we all feel at home, these guiding principles ensure Pollen remain rooted in the values that matter for the long run:





Safety & Security First

Women's safety is our priority. Hosts and guests commit to creating an environment of trust, protection, and mutual respect.

Intimate Care

Hosting and staying are intimate acts of trust. We care for spaces as if they were our own, ensuring they remain welcoming and well-maintained.

Fair & Ethical Pricing

Pricing should be reasonable and considerate of both hosts and guests, ensuring affordability and mutual benefits.



Respect for Local Communities

Every place has a story. We engage with awareness, ensuring our presence enriches rather than disrupts local culture.

Clear and Honest Communication

Transparency fosters trust. Clear expectations in listings and interactions make for smoother experiences.

Kindness in Every Interaction

By actively listening, offering help when needed, and approaching conflicts with empathy, we create a culture where everyone feels genuinely supported.



Women Supporting Women

By choosing to host and stay within this community, we actively support one another’s journeys.

Sustaining Our Values as We Grow

Hermanas is more than a shared economy—it’s a movement. As we expand, we remain committed to inclusion, mindfulness, and community-driven impact.
