  Animal Lovers

  A world without our furry, feathered, or scaled friends (Phylum Chordata - vertebrate animals) would be a sad and sorry place to live. This group is to help us animals lovers find fun and interesting places to stay with animals or with our animals. It might be that someone has a pet otter to share or a dog they love to travel with. Whatever your travel needs, this group hopes to offer accommodation with like-minded animal lovers that will make your trip memorable and help you save a few pennies too!

  Bikers

  Biking is a world-wide community anyway so what better way to see the world that to cruise and stay with fellow bikes? I just sold my bike but I'd still like to know where I can stay when I get a new one!

• 

  Budget Accommodation

  For those of us with a limited budget this is a 'must join' group as it will help you to quickly find affordable places to stay. When we say Budget Accommodation it obviously won't be the lap of luxury, but at the same time, we do expect cleanliness and a safe place to leave our stuff.

  Dancing

  If you love a bit of a shimmy on the dance floor then the good news is....so do these people!  Personally I love Ceroc or a Ceilidh (Scottish Country Dancing).  Dancing it really fun and a great way to meet people in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. What better introduction to a new city?

  Have Mac will Travel

  Being a keen traveller, with a trusty mac in my pack, I'm interested to see what accommodation opportunities are out there. People with Macs are creative, adventurous, outgoing and often a bit cool - or at least we like to think so. With all of that goodness I thought it would be nice to see if they're accommodating as well... From experience Mac users often have something on common and seem to be pretty fun too. So, with luck, this experimental group will offer us some interesting travel opportunities for us all!

What's more, maybe you'll save enough money to buy a bigger slice of happiness!

  Scuba Diving

  Most of us who Scua Dive have to travel long distances and stay in faceless hotels or hostels.  I'd love the option to stay with local people who can show me the best places to dive.  If you like the sound of that or live near a dive spot then please join this group!

• 

  Surfing

  "Surfing expresses ... a pure yearning for visceral, physical contact with the natural world."  - Matt Warshaw

  Swimming

  Swimming is relaxing and good for the body and soul.   What's more, there nothing that says you're on holiday more than jumping into the water when you first arrive.  So, if that resonates with you or your property has a pool or is walking distance to water then please join this group!

• 

  Tennis

  Tennis is sociable, good for all ages and a great way to amke new friends, get fit and see new parts of the world whilst sharing an interest.  If you like tennis, have a court or live near some good courts then join up and see when, and from where, you will meet your match!

  Wild Swimming

  Best described as swimming as nature intended. It's invigorating, liberating and for some reason makes me think of my childhood and the innocence of by-gone eras.  I've jumped off cliffs all over the world, been ship wrecked in Indonesia and got tangled in seaweed in Scotland...there's nothing like swimming in the wild to make you feel alive!  If you fancy exploring the world and bathing in nature, then this group is just for you. 

• 

  Wimbledon Lawn Tennis

  Do you need a place to stay during the Wimbledon tennis championship? Staying locally is a great way to get more out of the experience and what's more it's cheaper than a hotel. Roll on next year, in the mean time, anyone for tennis?

• 

  Windsurfing

  We need two things, wind and water.  The other thing that would be nice though is accommodation with a like-minded host.  If that's you then please join this group as we'd love to know where in the world we could be windsurfing next.

• 

  Wine Tasting

  "A bottle of wine begs to be shared; I have never met a miserly wine lover. - Clifton Paul Fadiman

  Wine is company, conversation, culture and history.  It's debate and friendship; so, if you have a property in a wine region or if you enjoy your fine wines then join this group to travel and savour the wines of the world.

• 

  Yoga

  You cannot do yoga.  Yoga is your natural state.  What you can do are yoga exercises, which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state.  - Sharon Gannon

  I hope this group will bring Host and Guests together to stretch and breath the stresses out of life!
