If you have a room, a barn, a place to put a tent for fellow travellers, why not add details to this zee map. Its free and you can add contact details and what you are offering.

Its is not a requirement that you have to accomodate everyone, just as a free service to let people know there is a friendly 'traveller' willing to help if you are passing through.

This is a GREAT idea!

Way better than CS etc as we're all travellers and bikers...

Just hope it will work well!
I'll make some publicity for it soon via our FB page...

I just placed us on the map (not the address in Belgium as we'll be moving in 5 months, but the new place in Tenerife!)

@ Dicky; I'll contact you in a few months for sure, as we'll be on our way to Nepal and will ride through the south of Turkey.

"@ Dicky; I'll contact you in a few months for sure, as we'll be on our way to Nepal and will ride through the south of Turkey."

Pop on down you wandering souls. Enjoying your 110 days off road to Central Asia malarky on Advrider.

Cheers,

Dicky

It's growing.

Have a look at the HU Communities - it's been running since 2001! and currently there are 766 Communities in 116 countries containing from one to several hundred people - BY FAR the best way to contact other travellers for somewhere to stay, as well as local help, information, support when your bike breaks down and a whole lot more. With thousands of folks in the Communities you'll get help form motorcycle / and sometimes 4x4 travellers who understand what you're looking for.

The Communities have been used over 16,000 times that I know of - and there is a lot of chatting that I don't know about! And an amazing number of people have connected and become great friends via the Communities. People have hosted travellers, and then years later been hosted by them when they visited their country!

One traveller even said to me, "Grant, the best part of our round the world trip was all the great people we met and friends we made through the Communities."

You can download a waypoint file of all the Communities on the contact a Community page, in OziExplorer format and .gpx.

We're also working on a Google map with all the Communities marked on it. Soon we'll have links and connections and more information to make it easy to contact them directly from the map without having to use the form.

Grant - I agree to a certain extent...
my daughter arrived in India and one of the fabulous members in Delhi met her at the airport and transported her to the hostel - for which I am eternally grateful... but...

when on the road, with dodgy internet connection, receiving emails and connecting to others to make arrangements can be very hit and miss. If there was an app similar to AirBnB, where members could voluntarily add their details and update a type of "calendar", it would be a lot more user friendly.

Interesting idea, but do you really want to put a map to your home on the web where anyone can see it? A resourceful burglar or other person up to no good could use it to find where you live and then pretend to be a traveler to find when you will not be home. I would sign up if it were only city specific, but directions to my home open for anyone to see...

Have a look at Airbnb and tell me if you can locate the exact address of anyone listed.

Who sais you have to put in your home details???

Look at our place in Tenerife, we just pinpointed it in the south of the island with my mail address to contact us. It is up to anyone to put his or her info to a certain degree where he or she wants, no? I will not put mu exact address on the net, that's indeed right, but if someone contacts me then we'll see from that point on.

@Grant: I'm ashamed, but we never used the communities before...
But will do this for sure the next trip later this year! I just like to look at maps and be able to communicate with people this way. O yeah, is there any difference on the communities map between the green and red flags???

What is Airbnb?
I think you are changing the subject. Looking back at all the posts in this thread, you (Scootergal) are the only one who mentions Airbnb.
The "Myplace, stay for free , anywhere" of the original post shows a map. The map has specific locations. If those are just in the general vicinity but not the actual location of the person's home, it doesn't say.

Hi Guys and gals

The placement of this map was to give fellow travellers another option, and the 'spare place' offers a way to give a little back. The option to let a complete stranger stay in your place is optional and by mutual agreement.
I have not been on the map for a week or so but will enhance the options and contact details as we go. This is not for profit, (Grant) and on way a change from the Hubb or HU site. It started on the Adventure Bike Rider forum, and is extended to other sites as it grows.

Keep adding places and lets see where it goes, an remember this is an invitation to stay for a night at other bikers/travellers homes to camp or use spare beds etc.

If you have ever found yourself on the road as it gets late, or in a place where the options are thin on the ground, then its for you.


Thanks
