FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) on the BootsnAll Membership
1. What is the database?
It is for BootnsAll members to contact each other, share travel information, swap stories and all things travel-related. Within the database are the names and e-mail addresses of all BootsnAll members around the world. The database is only available to other BootsnAll.com members.
2. How do I use the database?
After you apply and receive your login and password you can edit your profile for others to see. So, if you want to share bits and pieces about yourself you can. For example, what countries you are familiar with, where you are planning to go, or anything that may be of benefit to others or yourself.
3. What is a membership?
Members enjoy access to the BootsnAll database. This database allows members to search for other BootsnAll members by city, country and type of member. Members are also able to edit their own profile within the database and control what other members will see.
Members receive our newsletter which highlights new features of the membership as well as the latest travel information on our site.
4. How much does a membership cost?
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Yep, it’s free. The idea is to benefit travellers and what better way to do that than to offer a free service?
Take advantage of features such as the discussion boards, web based e-mail designed for travellers, Insiders who answer questions on places they are knowledgeable on, and of course, the database.
5. So why should I become a member?
The value of having a contact in a place you are planning to visit is priceless. What better person to offer advice than someone who actually lives there? One of the joys of travelling is meeting people and the database is there for that specific purpose. As a member, you are a part of a growing Internet travellers’ community.
