The Warm Showers List is an internet service connecting touring cyclists with people who offer a place to sleep (from space to pitch a tent in the back yard to a nice room and bed). Usually a warm shower is included, and sometimes laundry, a meal, etc. Sometimes the traveling cyclist(s) will provide a meal for the host(s). I've been a member for almost 5 years and have enjoyed hosting traveling cyclists as well as staying with nice and interesting people when I'm touring - and a hot shower is great after being on the road for a while. WSL is world wide. I've only used it here in the US. Take a look: www.warmshowers.org.

Tue, March 6, 2007 - 12:29 PMYes, it's all over the world. There aren't many hosts in Mexico (only 4 as I remember). I haven't look much elsewhere as I haven't been planning trips outside N. America lately. There are plenty of hosts in Europe, I think. In any case, it's easy to find out through the WSL map.
