July 4, 200916 yr Hi folks, I'm with an organization called Global Agents for Change, based in Vancouver, Canada, and we're bicycling across Europe (Amsterdam to Istanbul) to support a microcredit fund to combat poverty. We'll be in Novi Sad on 2 Aug; Beograd, 3 and 4 Aug; and Kostolac, 5 Aug. We're relying on the generosity of churches, schools, community centres and regular people to put us up along the way and a Couchsurfer from Novi Sad suggested I put out the request here. Anyone have a connection with an organization who would be interested in hosting us? Know someone with a big yard where we can pitch our tents? Know a group that would like to sit down and talk with us about microcredit and/or poverty issues (whether or not they can host us)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

July 4, 200916 yr Are U 25 people or am I wrong? That is the number of names on Europe riders list... Just give us the idea what should we think about. 25 people together with bicycles and tents are quite a big bunch.
July 9, 200916 yr Author Sorry for not including that! We are 20 people...unfortunately, 5 of the originally planned riders were unable to make it due to a number of reasons (everything from career opportunities to lack of funds to political strife). Yes, it's definitely a lot...any help, though, would be most appreciated. We've stayed at all kinds of places so far, from church houses to yards to camping grounds and even a military base, just to give you some ideas. We would grateful if you asked for us, whether or not the response is positive. Thanks! Robbie [email protected]
