I signed up here last year but was not active until this month. I have met a lot of people during my travels and kept in touch with some through emails over the years. It is very interesting to know people in a short period of time in a particular country and visit them in theirs or them visiting me! I am very interested to travel like a local and the best way is to be with the locals. I always received warm welcomes whenever I travel abroad. Same warmth when I am in my home country to those who reach out to me.
