How to make your profile title and description shine
Your host profile is your chance to show guests why you’re the perfect person to guide them. A clear, friendly, and authentic profile helps you stand out and attract the right guests.
- Keep it personal and genuine
Don’t share personal contact details (like phone numbers, email addresses, websites, or social media links) on your profile. Present yourself as an individual local host — not as part of a tour company or agency. Guests book Withlocals to connect with you, not a large organization.
- Writing your description
This is where you tell your story and show guests who you are. Share details that are relatable, engaging, and reflect your personality. Avoid making it sound too much like an ad.
Example:
“I’ve lived in Madrid for many years and know the city like the back of my hand. I studied history and archaeology, which gave me a deep appreciation for Spain’s past. My perfect day is relaxing on a sunny terrace with a book, then meeting friends to try out hidden food spots you won’t find in guidebooks. I also love music and teach guitar to kids when I’m not showing visitors around my city.”
- Creating your personal title
Think of this as your tagline. Keep it short, fun, and memorable. Use the format:
The [adjective] [noun]
Examples:
- The Friendly Guitarist
- The Happy Historian
- The Chatty Explorer
Expertise and languages
Add the subjects you’re passionate about and the languages you speak fluently. This helps guests connect with you based on shared interests and ensures they can explore in a language they feel comfortable with. The more languages you list, the more accessible your experience becomes — and the more likely you are to get bookings.
