EFPSA
students' associations into one cooperative Europe-wide network. EFPSA encourages the mobility of European psychology students as well as it promotes professional collaboration in the context of international communication. One way to facilitate this interaction - is to organize helpful services those who are European psychology students! So - look at yourself! Are you a psychology student from Europe? Then TN is for you! And you can reward yourself with more information about EFPSA at www.efpsa.org
After filling the form, a notification, containing the account confirmation link, will be sent to your personal e-mail, so you will be able to activate the account. This is done so to rule out possible misspellings in the contact-email, for it is crucially important that one is indeed reachable through TN-homepage. After you have confirmed your account, it will become visible for all the other TN-members and you can instantly start enjoying the endless possibilities of Travel Network!
Travel Network is a free lodging service for psychology students, so when you're signing up you have to make an offer to see offers from other users. We are aware of the fact that you might not have enough space to host someone, so we have different types of offers, you can show someone around or help them find accommodation, etc. You can also make more offers (perhaps you're studying in one place and during the holidays you go somewhere else) within the same account.
If you have serious plans to use Travel Network and find a suitable host for your adventurous journey, you should definitely establish the very first contact through TN web-page. You will find the "contact" button next to each host profile and by clicking on that, you will get an opportunity to write the first message to your potential host. The host will receive it as regular letter from your personal e-mail address and you can continue your travel-networking arrangements through regular Internet channels. This type of intermediated establishment of contact is crucial for feedback and statistics to keep account on how often Travel Network Service is used.
A temporary alert is a polite message to all your potential friends you are absolutely dying to host but at some concrete moment of time, really-really just cannot! For example, your grandma comes to visit and occupies your apartment for ten days or you yourself have gone on a 3-week Travel Network pilgrimage. Then you can each time leave this nice little note, saying "I will not be home from this time until that, but you can always camp in my yard", or something else like that. You can change your temporary alert whenever necessary, at the same place where you can edit your personal data.
The visit-book is a really spunky way to make Travel Network homepage more interactive, share some post-visit feedback and make your host happy and proud. One should fill in the TN visit-book after each stay he or she has organized through Travel Network, no matter if you travel locally, visit the same person for the "umpteenth" time, know your host already for a long period of friendship or you have just met her for the first time. It doesn't matter if you wish to write long poems to glorify your stay, detailed humoresques or just find time for a few words. It is fun reading material for all the TN-members and a wonderful way to see how many initiated contacts really find their path into actual hosting situations. But please be aware that per one visit there cannot be more than one visit-book entry! If you visit the same person again, only then you can write the second visit-book "hymn". If there is something, you forgot to add to the visit-book in your first stream of ecstatic memories, feel free to go back and change the content of your entry by using the 'edit'-function. We ask you this because we count hosting situations and recognize experienced travel-networkers only based on visit-book entry statistics.
The participating countries are EFPSA member and observer countries that have at least one travel-anxious psychology student in their national organization, who has considered Travel Network interesting and useful enough to join the database. This means - the potential members are psychology students from basically, all the European countries and the actual list of countries where you can utilize TN at this instant, is growing rapidly. After creating yourself an account, you will see the full list of all the countries presented in Travel Network.
You are a grown person and you will socialize as much as you wish to. As two adults you probably know best how to work out your own personal means of interaction - there are no rules, no expectations, just go with the flow! Of course hosting TN-guests doesn't mean that you would have to drop your personal life for the time of their stay! Travel Network adventurers are expected to be very independent, so - indeed you don't have to become their new mother or ultimate best friend during this stay. (Hey, unless you mutually wish that!)
Normally everything (water, electricity, food) is provided by the host - for free. But you can always specify in your form, which things you are not able to offer without some pay. It is completely normal and accepted that for example the student fridge is often empty or you will not be able to pay the bill for long-distance calls, and so on, based on your possibilities. The only thing that, basically, has to be free, is the accommodation, for it is the essential of this service. But just look out - in case you list too many things that you cash extra for, you might end up making too little new friends!
Well, it is not the aim of EFPSA Travel Network to become a tourist information guide, full of boring formal information on places to visit, that you can find on any popular tourist site in the web. We try our best to put up and complement the links to those sites, but on informal traveling tips - good places to visit and fine means of getting by - we rely entirely on your help! Please share your experience, don't hold it to yourself - write it all down to the visit-book, give people good ideas!
Yes, there are. Here you go:
- We kindly ask you to always contact a person through Travel Network web-page contact-button! Even if it so happens that you already know this person, he is your best friend or you know his e-mail by heart. This is the only means of feedback for TN-team, to find out if and how often Travel Network is really being used.
- In order to keep Travel Network interactive, please keep all sorts of feedback coming! After visiting a TN-member always make a visit-book entry, spill your guts, tell everybody how interesting or crazy it was! Make your new friend proud, even if you have only two words to say! Please, just note that there can be only one visit-book entry per stay. In case you want to add something, be kind to use the 'edit'-function.
- Please check your personal data every once in a while to see if there is anything that needs to be changed or perhaps specified!
- Feel yourself entirely free to use Travel Network on your national level!
- Improve your traveling conditions by telling all your fantastic psychology student friends about Travel Network!
