Ok,
so you're ready to try a meetURplanet.com type of adventure, great!
You and I both know this is the future of travel.
Whether you're travelling or hosting we have tips to save you time
and money. This advice is based from our own personal experiences
at this style of travel and meetings.
Tips for the local host.
Thanks for being a host, we understand your time is valuable and really
appreciate your efforts at helping your fellow travellers. We guarantee
you'll enjoy the meeting as much as they will!
| • |
Please
reply to everyone who may contact you as a matter of courtesy.
Remember they made the effort to contact you. If you can't help
or host a traveller for whatever reason that is fine, but at
least an acknowledgment is nice. |
| • |
Always
remember that you are in total control as to whether you want
to host anyone who contacts you. Never feel pressured into meeting
if it's not suitable to you. |
| • |
Be
clear as to what type of activities and places your visitor
would like to see. Make your suggestions and together plan your
adventure. |
| • |
A
little concerned about meeting strangers off the net? Sure we
can understand that. Whenever you meet people you don't know,
whether from the net or in real life you should take the normal
precautions. |
|
| 1) |
As
a host you should also establish the identity of the traveller
you will meet before they leave for their holiday.
| - |
Send
them a post card to either their home or work address.
Make sure they receive it and allow about two weeks
for them to get it. |
| - |
Call
them on the phone before meeting, either before
they leave home or when they first arrive at your
city/town. You can call them at their hotel. |
| - |
Know
whom you are looking for before meeting them, so
get them to send some pictures if they don't have
one on their profile. |
| - |
When
you first meet suggest exchanging business cards
and/or showing some form of personal identification
(drivers license, credit card etc) to each other. |
|
| 2) |
Tell
someone where you are going and whom you are going to
meet. |
| 3) |
Meet
your traveller for the first time in a public place. |
|
By now you will have a good feel as to what they are like
and your judgement will guide you. |
|
|
Please
Note:
It is your responsibility to satisfy yourself as to the person
is whom they claim.
Remember these tips are only of a general nature based on our
own personal experiences. MeetURplanet.com will not be held

| • |
Finally
be tolerant, open and remember there might be cultural and language
differences for the traveller to contend with. |
Most important of all remember to have fun and enjoy yourselves. It's
a big planet out there, so get going and meet some of it! |
