We enjoy being warm showers hosts, there are actually more hosts than bike tourists in our area, so we don't feel bad if we have to turn someone away due to scheduling. We had a couple over memorial day that were very fun, we basically gave them run of our little apartment over our shop. I was a bit concerned because they were vegan and we aren't but we even cooked dinner together, twice.
Good for you Mimi!
the Bike Hermit had great experience his last long tour with his warm showers hosts as well.
