Many Dutch web-loggers picked it up after that, and after six hours it was on a Dutch internet news site. Web sites and publications would cut and paste the story and translate it into their own languages. And the invitations started coming in. I accept every invitation unless it's the 10th one from the same city. Actually, I don't read any of the invitations personally unless someone sends me an email.
Most people just fill out the invitation form on the web site.
All I ask for is a meal and a place to sleep - and that they have a computer with Internet access at their location. I prefer that they speak English, but that's not absolutely necessary. Actually, I think the people who are inviting me are probably more anxious about me than I am about them. Most of them because they see this as an opportunity to support me with something they couldn't do in their young life. They wish they had done something like that.
