Wow....and I thought this only happened here in Japan. This is beautiful and very kind of you to open your house to strangers. I love how you put it....experiences and making new friends isnt something that can be paid for. Kudos to you for doing this and for creating this post that the rest of us may know that opportunities like this exist for travellers.

By the way, which country are you located in? This makes me want to travel even more, lol.
