hey... havent been here in ages but came across something i think would interest alot of people here: the "hospitality club" it's at www.hospitalityclub.org , and its basically a place to offer or ask for people's hospitality - that is, if you're travelling and want a place to stay for free, plus get to hang out with "the locals" hehe, you can send a message to someone whos offering a place to stay and sort it out with them from there. As i understand it you dont have to offer your place in return but its kinda a nice why to say thanks. Not exactly to do with the rainbow family but i thought people who have an interest in it might like this idea too... I'm going to amsterdam in june and hopefully staying with someone i met through this site (let you all know how it goes), but it's all very "legit", all addresses are checked (as real or not) by the site volunteers, you have to give full name and passport number to sign up etc... just seems like a big group of very generous people anyway, if you're wondering what this "advertising" is about lol i'm not a volunteer there or anything but i really like the idea so i'm just trying to spread the word peace, -shrimpgirl
