Description: Interested in cost free stays in foreign lands? Here is your chance with SERVAS hosts.
Servas, a UN NonGovernmentalOrganization, is a non-profit 50 years old network promoting world peace and awareness of cultural diversity through multiple 2night-3day home stays in 130 countries.
Members of Servas sign up as either "hosts" or "travelers" or both. They agree to be interviewed by screeners delving into their bona fides; Servas is not a budget travel service, and seeks to exclude persons who are simply looking for a free crash pad. The goal is for people to meet and exchange ideas. The application process, including the interview, takes about three weeks. As a non-governmental organization affiliated with the U.N., Servas believes that the cause of world peace is furthered by such interchanges among people.
