The organization was registered in May, 22th 2007, when a group of active young Estonians decided to unite members of Hospitality Club and CouchSurfing Project (and few smaller ones) living in Estonia or are interested in the country.

The portals mentioned before offer databases to their members. If one member goes traveling, the one can write messages to another member and ask for accomodation. The person who have at least once stayed at another member can assure that "free accomodation" is the least important value when being guest like this.

More important value is experiencing moods, custom, philosophies of life, problems and culture of foregn countries. That way can a person, interested in traveling, get the most true picture of a country. The one will get out from articifial environment created for tourists.

It's also important that the money coming from this kind of tourism is not creating new tourist districts but is developing areas as a whole which is useful for local population.

Our mission is offering members of these clubs mentioned before best examples of Estonia. We are arranging monthly meetings, there have been camps on different topics, we take part in different cultural happenings (also introducing them to guests) and of course accommodate (if possible) other members.

Yours,

HC Eesti
