about Us
In 2022, from two distinct corners of the world, two brothers embarked on individual adventures that would etch indelible marks on their lives. Unknown to them at the time, these journeys were destined to be the cornerstone for an inventive and uplifting enterprise: 50Homes. Travel was in their blood. They had an insatiable desire to meet new faces, chart new courses, and immerse themselves in diverse cultures. Fate intervened, and the allure of Erasmus+ journeys whisked the brothers off to different destinations. While one stepped into the dynamic realm of the Netherlands, the other was drawn to the sun-drenched terrains of Portugal.
As they each navigated unfamiliar cultures, they were brought together by a mutual sentiment: the thrill and occasional hurdles of securing a temporary abode in a foreign territory. From grappling with language differences to finding their way around uncharted streets, every obstacle they encountered added another layer to their enriching journey. It was during their countless interactions and conversations deep into the night that an idea sparked. They recognized the profound impact of crafting a streamlined and nurturing platform for students who, like them, were chasing the Erasmus dream. This revelation culminated in the birth of 50Homes: an online haven where young wanderers could find more than just shelter — a space to begin anew.
Inspired by their personal escapades, the brothers devoted themselves to the creation of 50Homes, visualizing it as a bridge across cultures, a sanctuary for togetherness, and a backdrop for tales that last a lifetime. They tailored the platform to mirror the quintessence of the Erasmus journey, blending exploration, learning, and enduring bonds. Acknowledging the transient nature of such adventures and the gravity of stepping into the unknown, the brothers prioritized ensuring that the 50Hstudents lacked nothing. They meticulously prepared each home for every conceivable circumstance and season.
By 2023, their vision had been realized. Now, all are invited to discover 50Homes, not merely as a housing solution but as a tribute to the magic of collective experiences and the boundless opportunities the world presents.
We look forward to your stay.

Our Core Values
Transparency
For us, transparency is the cornerstone of trust. It means providing clear, honest, and open information about the apartments we list, the terms of the rental agreements, and the expectations on both sides. We believe that every Erasmus student should have complete understanding of their housing situation, without hidden fees, misleading information, or unexpected surprises. By being transparent, we aim to foster a community where students feel safe, informed, and empowered in their housing choices. We are committed to creating a platform where every listing is authentic, every price is clear, and every transaction is straightforward.
Community
Community to us represents more than just a group of individuals; it signifies belonging, support, and shared experiences. We recognize the unique challenges and adventures Erasmus students face, and we believe in the power of community to make these experiences even more enriching. Our platform is not just about finding an apartment—it’s about connecting students with local peers, integrating into new environments, and creating lifelong bonds. We aim to foster a sense of home away from home, where students can both offer and receive guidance, friendship, and camaraderie. In essence, our community is our strength, turning unfamiliar places into familiar spaces.
Accessibility
At 50homes, accessibility is our pledge to ensure that every Erasmus student, regardless of background, ability, or need, can effortlessly navigate our platform and secure suitable housing. We recognize the distinct journey each student embarks upon, and our platform reflects this diversity of needs. This commitment manifests in user-friendly interfaces, features that cater to those with disabilities, and a range of housing options tailored to various physical and logistical requirements. At 50homes, our primary goal is to eliminate barriers, ensuring that each student, regardless of their circumstances, enjoys a seamless and inclusive housing journey.
Mission
Vision
Our vision is to redefine the way students embark on their international journeys. We envision 50Homes as a global beacon of trust, quality, and belonging, where every student feels empowered to explore the world, confident in the comfort of a true home away from home. Through innovative technology, personalized care, and a commitment to enhancing the student experience, we aim to inspire a new era of global citizens who embrace diversity and growth
