BeWelcome News

Dear Members,

Just to share with you this great news - BeWelcome page is now (since the recent release 2 weeks ago) available in a new language - Galego (Galician). Are you from Galicia, Spain - or maybe speak/ are interested in this language for different purposes? Go ahead and pick it from the language drop down at the bottom of the BW page.

Very special thanks should go to Jorganes - translation volunteer, who made the translation very quickly!!!

Do you see your language missing, or maybe not…

We, the volunteers of BeWelcome, hope you are well and staying safe. 

Here comes a long list of smaller or bigger improvements to our platform since our last update in January 2021. 

Find Members (locations): 

• Searching for gender other now works as expected (but unfortunately only for the first page; just set the number of shown items to 100 in the search options if that isn't enough for you)

Activities: 

• Cancelled activities no longer show up in the widget on the landing page.
• You can report…

We, the volunteers of BeWelcome, hope you are well and staying safe. 

Here comes a long list of smaller or bigger improvements to our platform since our last update in October 2020. 

Find Members (locations): 

• The drop downs now all have default values to avoid a layout problem. All search options should work now as well as ordering.
• Because of the decreased activity with Covid the default has been increased to display profiles which have logged in up to two years ago. You can change this setting…

新年快乐   恭喜发财

Bonne année et bonne santé à tous

Feliz año nuevo

Frohes Neues Jahr und einen guten Rutsch

Ik wens je een gelukkig nieuwjaar

Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku

Thank you to our amazing community!

We want to thank our BeWelcome community for their invaluable contributions – BeWelcome would not exist without…

A small group of 7 BeWelcomers from different French cities gathered at the last weekend of September in Montpellier/Southern France to celebrate the mussels. "Seek the Mussel" was one of the last good things before the second Corona lockdown hit Europe: canoeing, eating mussels  and looking for them during long walks. "The program was a bit improvised due to the pandemic situation - but it was worth it", say the organizers ffred and Iris_will_never_surrender. "We've really spent good times…

Dear BeWelcome members,

since June 2020 we haven't updated our website with the recent improvements and hunted bugs.

Please bear with us as the following list sounds quite technical but these are the changes:

• Easier location search and better results, even for regions and entire countries
• Introduction of new search options like „has profile picture“
• Arriving straight on your own groups instead of the complete list of all groups
• Progressive Web App to enjoy BeWelcome on your home screen
• Filter online…

Montpellier (Southern France) invites you to "Seek the Mussel"! Join in for a weekend full of fun and meeting other BeWelcomers - from friday September 25th to Sunday 27th, 2020.

ffred and Iris_will_never_surrender have done a great job to get together such a variety of activities:
From "BeerWelcome" to kayaking, hiking, music, a bit of sightseeing inbetween - and picnics on the beach of the Mediterranean Sea where you have plenty of chances to find your Mussle :)
