How do I find a host that suits my needs?

After you have created your Warmshowers account, you can search by host name (if you know who you’re looking for) or by location — country, town, province, etc. — and then go to the selected host’s profile to request a stay. Take time to read each profile carefully: it shares details about what they offer, their availability, and any special requests or preferences. If the map shows clusters, zoom in; the drop-down search menu will also let you see hosts in that area. Once you’ve found someone who aligns with your route and expectations, use the contact button on their profile to send a message.
