Couchsurfing hat mich 2010 sehr begeistert, als ich mit dem Rad um die Ostsee gefahren bin. Danach habe ich noch einige Zeit Menschen bei mir aufgenommen.
CS scheint nicht mehr angesagt zu sein. Auch über Warmshowers lese ich viel Kritik.
Nutzt Du solche Plattformen für Übernachtungen auf Radreisen? Wenn ja, welche?
(Hintergrund: Ich habe nun wieder Platz im Garten für Zelte und in Zukunft auch ein Gästezimmer. Beides würde ich Radreisenden gern anbieten.)

"But from the rock as if by magic grown,
Eternal—silent—beautiful—alone!" - J.W. Burgon

Beautiful Petra, a sight to behold both day and night. Living testament to the silk road and bedouin culture. A tourist trap - and home to the bedouins.
When I visited in 2016 we were kindly invited by the bedouins to stay a night in one of the caves. An experience I will always cherish and remember.

alojapan.com/1232672/fukushima Fukushima, Japan: Region rebuilt | Stripes Japan #Fukushima #future #hospitality #JapanTrips #recovering #reinventing #trips For too long, Fukushima has been defined by those who have never set foot there—its name tied to the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster. While the past cannot be erased, the present tells a different story. Having recently traveled through the prefecture, I can confidently say that Fukushima is not just safe…

So some time ago someone on Mastodon posted that they're biking into Portugal from Spain. I just sent them a message saying hi, and that should they ever be passing into central rural Portugal, i offer a couch to crash, a warm shower and nice warm meals. This person is moving around all mainland europe, essentially with just their bike, a tent and a water bottle.

Some weeks later, this person who i had only exchanged with just a couple of direct msgs here on Mastodon , was resting for 2 nights at my house, having conversation and hanging out. Up to the exact moment we met we both barely knew each other's names, how we looked, what kind of people we were. I didn't even know the exact date and time they were coming.

It reminded me of the great days of when i used couchsurfing .com when it was still completely free. Circumstances changed since then, and i had stopped using it for a long time, and i believe couchsurfing.com is no longer completely free. But having a similar experience after so long, and hosting someone completely random without any transaction happening except pure faith in people's goodness, reminded me once again of the joys of opening your doors to randoms. 1/2

(After Vance said: "Lord, show me a sign") He was met with a sea of signs calling him a traitor telling him to fuck off and go ski in Russia”:

HuffPost · Protesters Hit JD Vance With A Frosty 'F**k Off' On Ski Trip After Zelenskyy ClashBy Ben Blanchet
Continued thread

As years go by I have less and less tolerance for two types of behaviors: Not responding (AKA saying no by saying nothing) and different sorts of indirect communications (not responding being pretty indirect in itself). The other reason I find myself a bit unhappy is I wonder if they think I'm a hostel service. I know norms, rules of hospitality and other weird courtesies are not a top priority in many activist milieus, but can we please raise the standard? Rant over. #Etiquette #Hospitality
