Be welcome at couchwiki and thanks for your contributions! [[User:Midsch|Midsch]] ([[User talk:Midsch|talk]]) 15:11, 30 June 2013 (CEST)

Hi Samara, I appreciate your contributions here but [http://wikivoyage.org/ Wikivoyage] might be a better place to work on general travel information? Couchwiki is more focused on hospitality exchange. What do you think? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) 01:20, 16 July 2013 (CEST)

Hi Guaka, how nice is it of you to come chat with me!
I do think that a place linke that might be better for general travel info, however, don't you think that there's a need of some basic ground from where people can provide more info on the subject matter?
Also because as you may know, hospitality might vary quite quickly. I think that, if you think only about hospitality exchange, a forum is what you're after. Cheers! [[User:Samaradasilva|Samaradasilva]] 17 July 2013 (CEST)
