Thank you. I will look at this. I was an early warmshowers member, when it was a paper list. Mostly I was a host. The hosting drifted to become free airbnb. I found myself resenting sponsored cyclists, cyclists clearly richer than me who expected food and availability, cyclists (most of them) who never left feed back. This last point is vital when you are hosting or staying with a stranger. And I really hated to pay for the app - this drive behaviour. People thought well I’m paying I should get something. So I left, sadly, as I left reddit sadly. I came here today because I am excited about some bike packing gear and I wanted to share. That’s what is nice about these communities. Who else would I tell?
Ok I’ll look at the info. D
