Costa Mesa, California, US

I'm in Costa Mesa less than one mile from John Wayne airport (Code is SNA). I'm right off the 405 near the 55 freeways in Orange county. that's about 35 minutes south of downtown LA as long as you avoid heavy traffic times. LAX is about 25 minutes away.

I have a spare bedroom in my house. A supportive wife and PLENTY of references form people who have stayed with me in the past. here are a few;
Shandra (MM101286)
Kathryn (478130)
Iranian luv goddess (MM 35302)
Iona Lynn (MM 44684)
Lindsay (381942)
Erin the Artist (7155)
Vivian De Milo (344607)
LauraAnna (128019)

No smoking in the house or car...you have to like (or at least tolerate cats) and of course you have to model for me in return.

I'm in Anaheim - two blocks from Disneyland in Orange County - Southern California. 

A number of out of state and foreign models have stayed at my four bedroom house over the past few years (I have a furnished spare room with a view of the swimming pool).  More models are welcome!

I don't mind hosting. I live in a town called Stem, which is about 20 mins from DUrham, North Carolina and about 35mins from Raleigh, NC and all surroudning areas.  Please let me know if anyone needs a place to stay.

I have a spare room and bathroom on the opposite side of the house.  I do smoke in my home so that wont be an issue and no pets.

Reference for the Reference-checkers (to be linked in the main list.)

Here are the template letters:

for people agreeing to host - This is optional, if the photographer or model has links to people with whom he or she has worked in his or her MM portfolio, we can directly contact them (although sometimes it is helpful to know who has stayed at the photographer's house previously.)

Subject References for traveling model host list. 

Dear (photographer name),

Thank you for signing up as a host for traveling models.  Since this is a official Team Mayhem list, I have been asked to check your references before adding you to the list.  Have you had any models stay with you before?  If so, whom?  (If you have not had any models stay with you yet, this will not count against you.) If possible, please provide emails or MM numbers for three models with whom you have recently worked.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
(name here)

To send to host's references: if hose is a photographer version

Subject: modeling reference for (photographer name)

Dear (model name),

(photographer's name) has offered to host traveling models and I am contacting you for a character reference.  What were your experiences like working with him/her?  Would you work with him/her again?  If (photographer's name) has hosted you as his/her guest while you were in the area, how would you describe the experience? 

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
(name here)

To send to host's references: if host is a model version

Subject: photographer reference for (model name)

(model name) has offered to host traveling models and I am contacting you for a character reference.  What were your experiences like working with him/her?  Would you work with him/her again?  Would you say that she is a reliable and trustworthy model?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
(name here)

Other notes:

Ideally, I am interested in finding out from the photographers which models have stayed at their home and talking with those models. If there were none as of yet, that is fine too. Either way, I think it is good measure to ask people that the photographer may not have used as a personal reference, models they have photographed in their portfolios (ideally, if there are any recognizable traveling models because these models might have stayed at the photographer's place.)


I know it is time consuming to check references. I do not expect volunteers to devout hours and hours to it and I am thankful for whatever time you can volunteer. I know many people what limits on the amount of messages they can send a day, so if if you find yourself running low, by all means stop working on this and take care of your own personal correspondence. I don't want anyone using up all their messages on this project.

I can host models/photographers for Cleveland Ohio.... Located in East Cleveland Heights, 5 miles from downtown, near 90 and 270.  We have a decent sized apartment, very clean and cushy.  No extra bedrooms, so you and whomever you might be traveling with.... would be sleeping on a couch or a blow-up bed in our living room - We have one very wellbehaved dog named Jake.  No Smoking.  Maybe pets if you are traveling with a dog or something.....

I would be more than willing to host any models traveling to Minnesota. I live in the SW metro area of Minneapolis (about 20-30 min to either Minneapolis or St. Paul depending on traffic and area) and I have a spare bedroom with a futon. I live with my boyfriend and we have a small dog (Boston Terrier) who has fairly bad gas. smile

About 1 hour 15 from London, half an hour from Bath, 45 mins from Bristol.

i've stayed in Hostels while traveling.    that's always fun.   rather than feel underfoot at some else's place or go through the anxiety of staying with some unknown guy with unknown intentions.

hostels are generally fun and filled with other world travelers around my age group.  always some kind of activity going on there.  interesting people.

good option.

but yea... i did just join the couchsurfing website as well.  haven't done it yet... but we'll see how it goes.
