  1. Hi,
    We are a group of people in Germany, who wrote a web-based software for LETSystems (www.obelio.com) and who operate a supra-regional platform for traveling/service exchange based on LETS (www.acrosslets.org).

    We try to come in contact with you, because we want to cooperate with other systems for mutually exchanging supra-regional LETS advertisements. Offering services on this platform does not predetermine the method of payment (this could be your local currency or some other clearing currency). It is the ad author’s choice to specify. We are not aware, that any other platform in Europe would allow you to exchange anonymised (but ID-tagged) LETS ads.

    In other words: Are you and your members interested in traveling through Europe and paying your accomodations in your LETS currency? Would you like to offer such accommodations to travelers?

    We are looking forward to your reply!

    Dorina and Lutz
