Editing Experiences (section)

==Why would you share an experience==

There are multiple reasons why someone would want to read or share an experience;

It’s a way to say “thank you” in to someone who has helped you.
One can get an idea of an experience you could have with this person. Maybe the person(s) enjoys long conversations, takes their guests on tours, is busy or not busy, or enjoys a faster or slower pace of life. You can get an idea through the experiences posted along with their bio.
You may want to see if the persons is active in the community — Perhaps you prefer to stay only with those who clearly demonstrate a level of generosity in hospitality and have some more experience than others.
Perhaps you’d like to understand what kind of people someone is meeting and how? Did they meet only with one gender, or families, or a speakers of a certain language, or people coming from a geographic region? It can give cues to the type of person the host has accepted in the past that could serve your research in picking a host.
A sense of safety and being able to trust fellow members is quite important. While experiences can never be a truly proactive safety feature all the time, it does help significantly to reduce risks for those using Trustroots.
