ReplyDeleteReading this article was amazing for me because I love traveling. To know that I can travel and meet other people with my own principles is brilliant. All LDS members should know about this website and spread the information in their countries.

ReplyDeleteI am surprise on how rapidly this website y growing. My first impression trying to answer the question if I will join as a host for travelers was about trusting to invite someone I don’t know to my home. This website is supposed to be for members of the LDS Church and for non LDS church members with high standards, so I probably will participate as a host but after learning more about the website. I had hosted families in my home and also been hosted by another family in a different country and we had a great experiences, but we did it trough the Church leaders.
