Cycling hospitality - Warm Showers

Fancy some occasional company? Not sure where to go in the summer? Here's a great idea for both: the Warm Showers list.

Warm Showers is a world-wide directory of Internet cyclists who offer their hospitality towards touring cyclists. Whether this is just a  patch of grass to pitch a tent or extends to a shower, a meal and a bed all depends on what the host is able or willing to provide.

As well as the UK, there are hosts all around the world, I've copied some places at random:

• Buenos Aires, B
• Curitiba, PR
• Florianopolis, SC
• Bragança Paulista, SP
• São José (Florianopolis), SC
• Santiago, RM
• San Miguel de Tucuman, T

...and that's just from clicking on South America! I suggest you may like to log into the site to find out where these are exactly, unless your geography is better than mine, and to see where the remaining 3845 members are based.

If you would like to volunteer hospitality for touring cyclists, you can register yourself on the site. There is plenty of info explaining how it works. What an excellent way to meet fellow cyclists.
