Editing Lesbian & Gay Hospitality Exchange International

==== Own Site Description ====
[http://www.lghei.org Lesbian & Gay Hospitality Exchange International] is a growing network of lesbians and gay men from around the world who offer their hospitality to other members at no charge. These hosts, in turn, are received when they travel.

There are currently more than 500 listings in over 30 countries. It was founded in 1991 as GHEI - Gay Hospitality Exchange International - and registered as a non-profit organization designed to provide a service to our community. The organization changed its name to Lesbian & Gay Hospitality Exchange International in 1993. Apart from the obvious financial benefit of staying in members' homes when we travel, the network offers the more significant advantage of cultural, intellectual and social exchanges through such personal contact. We are able to see a place from the locals' perspective instead of as tourists.

If that were all, you would already have enough reasons to join, but the close friendships that develop are an added bonus that we could never put a price on.
