Henar Chico created in Boise a forum for those willing to rent a house/room for Jaialdi (from the blog A Basque in Boise)

03/30/2015

Henar Chico is a woman from Bilbao (Ortuella) in the Basque Country living for years in Boise, Idaho. She runs the blog A Basque in Boise. Lately she has been asked many times by people willing to rent a room or a house during Jaialdi 2015 (last days of July, first days in August). She doesn´t know anybody in that situation, but trying to help, she created a forum to connect people in Boise willing to host and people that would like to stay in private houses.

Henar Chico/Boise, Idaho. After several years running A Basque in Boise blog, many people turn to me with ideas, requests or suggestions regarding Boise’s Basque Country ties. This year, with Jaialdi coming up in July, has proven busier than usual, especially with requests from Basques looking for a place to stay during the festival.

I always feel bad when I have to tell people I don’t know of families looking to host or people willing to rent out a room during Jaialdi. However, the fact that I don’t know doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. So, after a bit of thinking, I decided to create a forum to give people a chance to connect and work out their own deals.

I’ve never done anything like this before, so please be patient with me, and remember that I don’t personally know the people participating in the forum.

Because I’m super original, I called it A Basque in Boise Forum:

  1. Go here to register: Registration page (follow the prompts)
  2. After you register, you can login here: Login page
  3. Finally, go to the General Board to create a new thread or reply to an existing thread

Good luck!

(IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that this has nothing to do with the official organizers of  Jaialdi)

Después de varios años llevando el blog de A Basque in Boise, muchas personas me escriben con ideas, peticiones o sugerencias sobre los lazos que unen Euskadi y Boise. Este año de Jaialdi ha resultado ser más movidito que de costumbre, sobre todo por la cantidad de vascos que buscan alojamiento durante el festival en julio.

Me da pena cuando tengo que decirle a la gente que no conozco a ninguna familia dispuesta a acoger gente o alquilar habitaciones durante Jaialdi. Sin embargo, que yo no las conozca no significa que no las haya. Así que, después de pensar un poco, he decidido crear un foro para que la gente pueda conectarse y hacer sus propios tratos.

Como soy súper original, lo he llamado el Foro de A Basque in Boise:

  1. Regístrate aquí:  (sigue las instrucciones)
  2. <a data-cke-saved-href="https://login.proboards.com/register/6205882%20" href="https://login.proboards.com/register/6205882%20" target="_blank" "="">Después, inicia sesión aquí: Página de inicio
  3. Por último, vete al Tablero General para crear un nuevo hilo o responder a un hilo existente

Esta es la primera vez que hago algo parecido, así que paciencia conmigo. Y recordad que yo no conozco personalmente a las personas que participan en el foro.

¡Suerte!

(IMPORTANTE: Este foro no tiene nada que ver con los organizadores oficiales de Jaialdi)
