Tusind tak for alle jeres anbefalinger!
Det blev så- blandt andet- til Café Gaya. Dejligt sted (jeg kendte ikke deres nye lokation, men det viste sig, at det var lige i gåafstand fra hvor vi boede hos en #servas ven :)
Jeg skal lige pointere, at Gaijin ikke kan anbefales til folk der prøver at undgå dyrisk mad. Stedet lugter jo bare SÅ meget af grisekød, og deres vegetarretter (var der flere end én?) fremstår lidt bare som alibi...

Criticism of #AirBNB in the feed.

An originally community-helpful idea spoiled for money.
When it started, it was like a less high-minded #Servas with remuneration for people who had a spare room (or couch), and cheap & cheerful places to stay for impecunious travellers. Its name came from "airbed and breakfast". Couch-surfing.
It handled payments well.
Then it was taken up by businesses. Rules tightened, guests' expectations soared; it went from spare room guest to hotel/long-term rental.

Sadly I have a feeling that Hospitality Exchange is on a downward spiral. Couchsurfing has become a for profit venture long ago. Now Warmshowers is going down the same route as Couchsurfing, resulting in a lot of requests by people who aren't interested in the community but are only looking for free accommodation. Trustroots decided to decentralize with crypto bros (Nostr). I don't have much hope that this improves the sense of community and therefore the requests you get.

This leaves us with BeWelcome and hospitality exchange networks like Servas that predate the internet.

Hatte gerade mein #Servas Aufnahmegespräch und wieder festgestellt, warum ich die Organisation seit 2004 so toll finde. 😍
