@Debbie Thanks for sharing. Yes, I believe that eventually it will filter out: people who understands and enjoys the mutual benefits and helping each other. At the same time there will also be people who will be ‘testing the pool’ and might need some extra checking wether or not they are an appropriate fit for each other, especially when there is a long journey involved and there are no reviews yet.
