Please, read assertively : I've been receiving too many inadequate requests, therefore I've decided to write the following bullet points - the intention is not to be rude, but to be very straight forward and honest - especially towards the new joiners. 1 - I encourage you to customize your request. I need to know about you, what's your situation, what are your plans and who I'll be meeting and having under my roof. 2 - If you need a place where to stay for several days or medium term, we can discuss that. 3 - Good English oral skills (B2 for example would be good) or any other language listed within the ones I speak is a MUST. Otherwise, we won't be able to discuss interesting topics, make jokes, etc. and if we can't communicate, it won't be that pleasant. 4 - If you've read so far : a requirement when sending your request is to share with me your most controversial thought :) - no matter the topic, you can conclude your message with it :) (Otherwise I assume you haven't read anything, and therefore you won't receive an answer.) Otherwise : I like people, I like food, and I like to talk: all of this together around a glass of wine or hand crafted wheat beer. Spending time in nature, hiking, biking , camping, observing the wild life and especially going on adventures to find the right spots where to do so... it just makes life worth living.
