<div>[http://www.servas.org Servas Open Doors] is an international, non-governmental, interracial peace association running in over 100 countries by volunteers. Founded in 1949 by Bob Luitweiler as a peace movement, Servas International is a non-profit organisation working to build understanding, tolerance and world peace.<br />
<br />
''Servas'' means "we serve", in the sense of "we serve peace", in the language Esperanto.<br />
<br />
It operates through a network of Servas hosts around the world who are interested in opening their doors to travellers, and, 'on the other side of the coin', many open-minded travellers who want to get to know the heart of the countries they visit.<br />
<br />
Servas International has consultative status as a non-governmental organization with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, currently with representation at many of the UN's hubs of activity. <br />
<br />
There are over 13,000 Servas 'open doors' scattered throughout almost every country in the world.<br />
<br />
==Programs==<br />
Unlike other hospitality exchange networks, Servas makes a clear distinction between travellers and hosts. Participation in the different programs costs, in the United States 85 US$ per year for "international travellers" and 50 US$ per year for "domestic travellers".<br />

(Each National Servas Country can have its own website, usually reachable from the main international site.)<br />

<div>[http://globalfreeloaders.com/ GlobalFreeLoaders] is a text-based site only (no pictures).<br />
<br />
It is great if you want to ask for accomandation to several peoples (as you just need to mark them) and your letter goes to all of them.<br />
It is rather small compared to [[Hospitality Club]] and [[Couchsurfing]]. <!-- so I dubt you will be more lucky! ... well...--> Also, the website's system is not ideal. It is a bit tedious to find references written to others, though also recommandable, since contact is directly over email, so the system is a lot less secure.<br />
<br />
Beware of hosts in Lima, Peru. Most might be okay, but at least one, who offers to come and pick you up from the bus terminal, is known to actually keep you in his house before you are allowed to leave. <!-- read that before getting on the bus to Lima... then quickly found another host on CS, Guaka --><br />
<br />
GlobalFreeLoaders has more than 70.000 members (November 2009). <br />
<br />
<br />
==Criticism ==<br />
<br />
Some people complain about the nature of the mass-mailings that constitute the main activity of GlobalFreeLoaders. Because users no longer need to look at profiles and search for the ideal host, they often just write a very general message and mass-mail it to 50 or 100 people in the desired city. Needless to say, many members do not feel the need to answer this type of mails.<br />
