			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s create a trusted travel guide for gay travellers in Europe!</p>
<h4>The Fact</h4>
<p>Time ago I was on travel between Portugal, Spain, Poland, Italy, France and Hungary. I met people around and my itinerary was really very interesting even if I faced many troubles in Hungary and France. Before my departure I collected information about the places I would like to visit as well as information about the gay life of the visiting area, but I realized that the 80% of the information I had about the gay life was inappropriate!</p>
<p>I slept in hotels that till now claim they are &#8220;gay friendly&#8221; but the apple is empty inside! I went to bars and restaurants with really bad drinks, food and service. The truth is that many people know well how to sell to the gay community.</p>
<p>I was lucky that I met gay people that helped me to organise my travel in a better way avoiding scams by giving me accurate information about the gay life in their zone. So, coming back to home and after a good brainstorming I decided to start this website and work seriously towards creating a &#8220;Gay Travel Project&#8221; aiming to provide trusted information for gay travellers in Europe.</p>
<h5>Let&#8217;s Create a Trusted Gay Travel Guide together!</h5>
<p>I know that it is not simple, but I feel we can do it! I dream a guide not just as a directory of suggested of gay friendly links but as a robust guide offering trusted information for gay travellers. I&#8217;m in search of people from various regions of Europe (max 10 people from every European country) that can act as &#8220;local experts&#8221; and will have the following duties:</p>
<p><strong>1</strong>. Write about their area of residence. From historical data to modern attractions. I have not any pre-designed template, and this means that the Local Expert have to feel free to create his part as he wish!<br />
<strong>2</strong>. Create a directory of trusted <strong>only &#8220;gay owned &#8211; gay operated&#8221;</strong> businesses in their area.<br />
<strong>3</strong>. Create a directory of all Gay events in their area.<br />
<strong>4</strong>. Maintain the guide by writing articles (minimum of 4 gay travel articles per month).<br />
<strong>5</strong>. Answer to people&#8217;s comments or inquiries related to his area.</p>
<h5>What I can offer?</h5>
<p><strong>1</strong>. All necessary infrastructure for our on-line presence: web hosting, web design, web promotions, web maintenance, etc.<br />
<strong>2</strong>. A special subdomain for your guide, like: austria.gayconnex.com + one or more email addresses like: your-name@gayconnex.com<br />
<strong>3</strong>. Any kind of support about writing your articles and graphics design.<br />
<strong>4</strong>. 60% of advertising revenues produced from your guide and will be allocated under the following scheme:<br />
60% <em>(on net &#8211; vat taxed excl.)</em> of all revenues goes to Local Expert.<br />
30% <em>(on net &#8211; vat taxed excl.)</em> of all revenues goes to gayConnex.<br />
10% <em>(on net &#8211; vat taxed excl.)</em> of all revenues goes to a charity of your choice.</p>
<h5>Requirements</h5>
<p>Be impassioned traveller, be a European citizen and resident of the area you will choose to be a local expert, have good English language skills <em>(not as mine &#8230; LOL)</em>, Basic knowledge of the WordPress platform <em>(I will help on this also)</em>, time to dedicate in writing. And regarding your name&#8217;s appearance on-line at a gay guide &#8230; you can use a nick name <img src='http://www.gayconnex.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h5>Apply</h5>
<p>To apply, please send an email to Nikos Papadakis at <strong>admin@gayconnex.com</strong></p>
