great app for long distance cycle tourists – Warmshowers Review

warmshowers.org is a great organization if you're a cycle tourist. no cost to join, you simply offer a place for other cyclists to stay (or not) when they pass through your part of the world. we've met w/warmshowers members in cairo, hanoi, oregon and denmark and each time it's been a great experience w/lots of information sharing and a gracious reception. the app is a simple, map-based database of the membership worldwide -- each pin represents a member -- click on a pin and the details they've posted appear in a popup -- how much notice they'd like for a stay, is their household set up for more than one guest, laundry, pets, can you tent in their yard, proximity to a bike shop, etc… we've often simply met members for coffee and to talk when in a new location to discuss a route or an area. very interesting membership overall… you can contact members through the app. you must be a member of warmshowers and sign in to use the app.
