Be communicative - New communication room - not only for new members
Written by duesseldorf 4 years agoWho would have thought that BeWelcome would have a huge influx of new members, especially during a time of global worry and sacrifice?
Thousands of new members joined BeWelcome after the 15th of May, and to all of you we say Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Zdravstvuyte, Nǐn hǎo, Salve, Konnichiwa ..!
For many of you, it may be a difficult choice to move to a new hospitality exchange community. The debatable decision of the biggest platform in hospitality exchange - to add fees for many of its members - is the main reason for some of you to make the move, while for others it might have been just the final push.
But in the end - who cares why ... as long as cool and friendly new and old members alike open their doors to others, to travelers and locals both, in order to host, dine, share a coffee or play boardgames together. Let us get to know each other and other cultures and be open to new and enriching experiences!
Meet other members in the BeWelcome Chat
As social distancing is still the most important measure to prevent COVID-19 from spreading, lets meet online:

Let's start with meeting on Jitsi Meet this friday evening, May 29th 2002 at 8 p.m. CEST.
It is an opportunity for members all around the world to connect and temporarily take the place of traveling and receiving guests - and if time allows, our volunteers will also join the meeting.
Here you will find the upcoming Jitse Meetings:

All activities need initiatives!
Whatever happens on BeWelcome is based on volunteer and member work: Somebody has to take the initiative.
