Managing your host profile

Your host profile is what guests see when they browse experiences. You edit everything from one place in your host account.

Open Manage profile

  1. Log in to the Withlocals website or open the Withlocals app.

  2. From your host dashboard, tap Manage profile.

  3. Pick the section you want to edit.

Sections on Manage profile

  • City: the city where you host. Your account can only be active in one city at a time, and you can only switch to a city where you have lived for at least 2 years.

  • Basic information: first name, last name, date of birth, gender. Last name, date of birth, and gender are private.

  • Public information: profile photo, personal title, and your personal description (bio). This is the public-facing content guests see.

  • Contact information: phone and email, each verified with a code.

  • Languages: the languages you can host in. Guests filter by language.

  • Transportation mode: the modes you use when hosting (walking, public transport, bicycle, car, boat, scooter, tuktuk) and the number of people you can take.

  • Licenses: tour guide licenses or other credentials.

  • Expertise: your topic areas from a predefined list: Art, History, Food & Drinks, Local Culture, and Special Tour Types.

  • Invoicing details: invoice address, individual or company, VAT number.

Public information in detail

The Public information section is the one guests actually see. It has:

  • Profile photo: a picture of you.

  • Personal title: a short job-style title for how you present yourself as a host.

  • Personal description: your longer bio explaining who you are and what you love about your city.

Fill in all three fields and replace the default avatar so guests get a complete picture of you.

Good to know

  • Changes save when you tap Save on each section's form.

  • Your host profile and your account details are edited from the same Manage profile page, so you don't need to switch screens.

  • If you need to delete your account entirely, there's a link at the bottom of Manage profile. See How to delete your account.
