Hotel robmacca
I've hardly had time to post here on "robmacca" because it's been more like "Hotel Robmacca" around here this month. I'm a member of http://hospitalityclub.org , which is a free website which has almost 180,000 people who either host or are guests.
The idea is to host visitors to your city or town by giving them a place to stay for 1 or 2 nights (for free) and if possible show them around or even just do them a meal.
I love it because it gives me a chance to show some of the positive images of Coventry and to try and be a good host to any visitors to my city. As I mentioned it's free, so "What do you get out of it?" you may ask.
My reward is meeting a variety of people of different ages, religions and cultures - which helps me understand how diverse and special people are. I am also rewarded knowing their short stay in my city was some how better for staying at the "Hotel Robmacca".
I've just hosted an incredible lady from Germany this week, I have a Napalise Finnish guy arriving Saturday and then next week a French guy who's just spent quite a while in China. All of these people have so much too share - so opening my home gives me a chance to bring the world to my door!
Try it - you never know, by doing so you may entertain angels without knowing it!

Congratulations, Robbie! What nicer a world we would be living in if just a few more people didn't ask themselves all the time «what do I get out of it?»...
ReplyDeleteBe happy! You deserve it indeed! :-)
Hey Robbie!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you're havin' fun with all your guests, it's really nice from you to do something like that. You're a great man and that's something really special.
Awwwwwwwwwww thanks guys!
ReplyDeleteI DO indeed enjoy it (and it is also a nice feeling when I get my bed back again!)
Thank you Robbie, I really enjoyed my stay in Coventry thanx to you (well, I wouldn't go there otherwise anyway :P). You're such an incredibly nice host, it felt better than at home ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry I took your bed :)
Give me my bed back you theif!
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure having you here Tommy and a big thanks for Futurama!
Sorry, it's so much better than mine, I don't wanna give it back. It was my first time alone in a double-bed!
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck on the floor now so bring it back next time.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell Lukas you were alone in that bed!
