Welcome! Please read this before continuing below

We're glad you want to sign up for Warm Showers! In a minute we're going to have you enter all your information, and then we'll send you an email, and you need to respond to that email. But of course in these days of billions of spam filters, you might not get the email if you don't add us to your spam whitelist, and then we'll never be able to approve your account. So....
  1. Right now, before submitting this form, please add wsl@warmshowers.org to your Spam whitelist. Instructions on how to do it on many email providers are here. If you don't do this, you may not receive the registration email from us with your password, so you won't get signed up. (You have to respond to the registration email to get access to the site.)
  2. When you sign up, please remember that it means you're planning to offer hospitality, at least someday. This is a reciprocal hospitality site. (If you are on tour or otherwise can't offer hospitality right now, you'll check the "not currently available" checkbox and then in the future you can uncheck it in your account.)
  3. Please remember that if you don't log in periodically (like at least once a year) or if you don't receive email at the email account you configure, we'll delete your account eventually. Prospective hosts generally need to be able to receive email (you have to use a real email account) and real users need to log in and check their accounts for accuracy from time to time.
  4. Please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions now, and remember to check it if you ever have trouble logging into the site.


OK, that's all! Please continue on below and fill in your registration.
