Voit tallettaa ilmoitukseesi (listaukseesi) paljon tietoa kodistasi ja lähiympäristöstäsi. Jotta saat kaiken irti jäsenyydestäsi, on tärkeää että annat mahdollisimman paljon tietoa kodistasi ja ympäristöstäsi, kerrot missä asut, miten sinuun saa parhaiten yhteyttä ja mitä olet tarjoamassa. Mitä enemmän tietoja annat tekstin ja valokuvien avulla sitä helpompaa toisten jäsenten on nähdä, tarjoatko sinä juuri sen, mitä he ovat hakemassa.
Valokuvat ja kuvaileva teksti
Intervac antaa mahdollisuuden lisätä 20 valokuvaa ja rajattoman määrän tekstiä seuraavien kuvailevien otsikoiden alle: kotisi, perhe,elintavat ja lähiympäristö. Monikieliset jäsenet käyttävät kuvauksissaan useita kieliä parantaakseen listauksensa löytymistä eri hakusanoja käytettäessä. Tekstin ja valokuvien käyttö on helppoa, sivuilla on aputekstejä. Paikallinen edustajasi auttaa sinua mielellään, jos sinulla on kysymyksiä, joihin et ole vielä saanut vastausta.
A map of surroundings
Listaukseen voi liittää Googlen kartan, jotta mahdolliset kumppanit saavat hyvän kuvan alueesta jossa kotisi sijaitsee. Osoitinnuolta ei ole oletuksena asetettu tarkalleen kotisi kohdalle. Halutessasi voit asettaa sen itse käyttämällä leveys- ja pituuspiirejä.
