Am I the only one who thinks this looks just a bit creepy? Here's a (IMHO) better proposition: Program with me and I'll teach you how to program. It's called Open Source and you don't need to move to get there.

  Hey Guys, thanks for your all the comments;-) I agree with both of you... But, Co-living is a way to have a focused environment to achieve your goals, here are some examples: Do you wanna finish that code you've been planning to write since a year? Well, let's say that i'm a programmer and I live in a different city, and if you move with me for a week or two, I'll help you to write it and discuss it, and focus on it while enjoying a different environment etc. Example2: Wanna lose weight? Well, I'm a trainer... Live with me and I'll give you a focused sessions combined with the proper food diet... Example 3: Coming to NYC for business, and looking for a place to stay? Live with me, and I'll introduce you to the right people... ETC... So, It's BnB + Value I had so many bad experiences on AirBnB.. Because, People are usually busy, and they won't spend the time they've promised with you, and you end up with just a cheap room with a note: "leave the key under the mat when u leave" !! And That's why we've started InspireBnB.com , where we focus on the experince and not the room... Tell me what do you think?

One problem in open source is that mentorship is difficult. Many people are only willing to mentor folks if they trust that the person is going to commit the time to see things through.
