I'd welcome a guest in my home if I knew how to make the offer. European, in general, are very welcoming to traveling strangers. It seems like the right thing to do to help people in need. Has anyone heard of any sort of organization for this?
I'm surprised the red cross hasn't set up at airports for stranded folks yet...
