Our aim is to bring people together - hosts and guests, travelers and locals. Hospitality Club members around the world help each other when they are traveling - be it with a roof for the night or a guided tour through town. Joining is free, takes just a minute and everyone is welcome. Members can look at each other's profiles, send messages and post comments about their experience on the website.

The club is supported by volunteers who believe in one idea: by bringing travelers in touch with people in the place they visit, and by giving "locals" a chance to meet people from other cultures we can increase intercultural understanding and make peace on this planet a little bit more likely.

And now background information for ELSA members:
"A just world in which there is respect for human dignity and cultural diversity" is the vision of the ELSA philosophy statement. The Hospitality Club is a worldwide independent network of people promoting mutual understanding and intercultural friendship. Take part in this network and spread the spirit of ELSA all over the world! Use the advanced search function to look for other ELSAnians!

You can remain in the Hospitality Club as long as you like - there are no obligations. Stay in touch with active and former ELSAnians, contact people worldwide and promote the ELSA philosophy outside the ELSA network!

Please tell your friends about the Hospitality Club! Put a link to http://elsa.hospitalityclub.org on your homepage, newsletters, etc.!

Looking forward to seeing you onboard!
