“When you choose to spend your holiday in an apartment rented online, the risks are right around the corner,” Alessio Virgili of Wimbify told The Huffington Post. “For an LGBT traveler, these risks increase. [What] if the person who is hosting doesn’t like the idea of an LGBT person in their house, or even an LGBT couple or family?”
“Besides avoiding feelings of unease or discrimination, being hosted by an LGBT or LGBT-friendly host makes it easier to socialize and [gain] knowledge of the local LGBT community, especially in destinations where gay life is often lived underground and it’s difficult to find information and to find yourself safe.”
Wimbify needs your help!
During many years in gay tourism they have received many requests from people who were looking for a travel companion. So they realised that there was a problem.
The idea of giving people the opportunity to host a traveler and let them live the city like a local, especially young people, prefer to travel whilst staying at a friend’s house rather than in a hotel to save money, and to be totally connected to the local culture.
What they need:
Currently, there is a Mobile App (that is for FREE) for iOS and Android. However, they need extra funds to complete their promotional campaign for the app and to develop documents for ID verification.
Please feel free to donate to their campaign, or if you’re unable to do so, a share would be greatly appreciated by the team at Wimbify!
