VISA should no problem for you to travel to anywhere, almost 24 hrs flight from AU to Europe that is much more hard.

Not many in the U.S. offering space. I wish to offer for meeting other photographers is always fun and I get to OO and AH over their great equipment. I have a humble home but with guest room with double bed plus some more spaces. In this time of financial stress we have a person living in our basement still a job comes along.
We live in the Metro area of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota which is about a 2 hour or less drive from many wonderful photo opportunities, Iowa and only a half hour from Wisconsin. Lake Superior, Iron Range, Mississippi River valley including the largest bird sanctuary in the U.S. and the National Bald Eagle Center. Even winter holds many wonders such as house sized ice bergs on the shore in the city of Duluth, ice boat sailing, crazy people with mobile homes to go ice fishing(you are on your own there, I hate icy water), ski slopes, and the odd things that happen around our big rivers. The city contains many fun areas and is aptly referred to as the 'Little Apple'. The international airport here is the only one on the central or northern high plains that can handle the largest of aircraft plus it is the last to close in cold snowy conditions.

Got space here and close to (dormant one hopes) volcanoes like Mt Hood and Mt Rainier, and an hour or so from beaches, and temperate rain forests (see Laurence's posts for this!)

I live in Treviso, 16 chilometers from Venezia, 50 chilometers from Alps, 60 chilometers from Vicenza and 40 chilometers from Padova.
Unfortunately I don't have room free, I have 2 sons (15 months and 29 months) that have occupied all available space Embarassed
But I knew a "church-house" that offers, for 40 euros, double room with breakfast.

Helsinki, Finland reporting! My apartment is too small to accomodate a 3rd (or 4th) person but I can find you good quality & safe rooms for rent in the downtown area for 20-25 EUR per person & night. I also have a studio downtown, in emergencies one can sleep on the sofa there Cool

Hey, I have got very good friends (from my time at university) living in Michelstadt!
I should visit them again and meet you one day...

This thread seems to have gone quiet back in August. Did it work out for anyone?

I live in Dover in the UK and can't offer accommodation (unless you want to sleep on a sofa!) My house is just too small.

But anyone travelling into England via the Eurostar or the Ferries who wants to know where to stay or anything else, I'll gladly help with local knowledge.

Very Happy

Sadly I don't have space to accomodate but if anyone visits the Englisdh Lake District anytime, I'd love to meet other photographers

No one has contacted me about visiting the Minnesota area. I can update my previous entry with news that I have an additional bedroom available so there are 2 rooms and 2 double beds. All are welcome, a family or a group of photographers. Minnesota and the Minneapolis area offers many interesting things to photograph from Lake Superior to the Mississippi River and its network of locks for navigation. The largest bird sanctuary in the U.S. along with the National Bald Eagle center. I am retired and can offer transport to photographers to locations in a 200 mile radius of this city. That will take out onto the high plains to the west, the cheese country of Wisconsin to the east along with Lake Superior to the north and Lake Michigan to the east and the flat corn country in Iowa to the south. In addition my home is located between 2 smaller wildlife areas that offer interesting hiking. Drop me an email.

There's not a lot of Americans here, so count me in! My wife and I live in west Los Angeles, California, USA... and we'd love to host some of you! Smile

We live just 2 miles from Beverly Hills, 4 miles from the ocean, and about 6 miles from Hollywood. Our spare room is actually our computer room, but we have a nice large bed in here for guests and it has its own shower/bathroom. My wife is an actor so she's knowledgeable of the Hollywood stuff Cool

All nationalities are welcome, but we're especially friendly toward Swedes.... Hej då Smile

I can't offer accommodation due to size of home, but if anyone stops by Hong Kong, give me a message and if I'm around (I might not be, I'm in Europe half the year! But that might change soon), I will try and offer my services as a tour guide Smile

Great thread, I would really enjoy visiting some places, when I finally have time!

I can also offer accommodation in my apartment. It's not big, but I have a pull-out couch in my living room. And you can have the room to yourself. I live in Graz/Austria. Second largest city in Austria, 300 000 people. A very nice place to visit, lots of historical buildings and photo opportunities! Comparatively mild and sunny. The city is also not far from nature and the Alps, so nature photographers (like myself) will also be satisfied.

So, if you want to visit southern Austria I'd gladly welcome you and show you around!

Cheers, Patrick
