Hello,
your work seems really interesting. I am a student at the university in Belgium and I wondered whether it were possible to read your whole study on Emotional Tourism realised in 2006, or many reports of your conferences on this subject. The subject which interests to me particularly is the couchsurfing.
Sincerely yours
Greetings!
So nice to hear that my work found you. As an interest to you … the work on Intimate Tourism is now being published into a book in French! Assuming you speak French, you will be able to read through the book then! It is currently in production and will be published before Christmas.
Please email me at p.bialski@lancs.ac.uk if you have some more questions!
All the best!
Paula
Hi Paula
I just stumbled across your website (from your CS page). Your research looks amazing! I wish you well with it. Am I right in thinking your PhD was on CS? I would love to read it if you have anything published in English.
Best wishes
Jody
