It's best to include some information that lets other members get a feel for you, while still maintaining the level of privacy you feel comfortable with. We recommend: Using an alias that is not your full name Not including your email or phone number on your public profile description (or in any listing descriptions you may create) When you log in and go to your My Profile dashboard, the small green illustration of a globe indicates that these items will be visible on your Public Profile (only visible to people who are registered on SabbaticalHomes and logged in with their account). We suggest members add a profile photo to make it easier to recognize you when exchanging messages, announcing matches and writing reviews. If you don't wish to include a picture of yourself, consider adding an image of your favorite place or flower or a pet. You can also include a brief description about yourself and your spoken languages. Lastly, you have an opportunity to link your profile to other websites. These could be a faculty profile from your university, articles you've written, LinkedIn profiles, etc. Please be mindful of which link(s) you choose to add to your profile as they may contain information you want to keep private (your full name or email).
