very cool yup me too I was a former Girl Scout and I know that rule too, Leave a place cleaner than you found it. I was just in Michigan last weekend for my best friend's & her husband's now 3 month old's Luna Baptism, i was named godmother of Luna. Chelsea & I are both Wisconsin Natives, but she lives in MI now. I kept a commentary of our trip, letting her know where we were on our trip and all. once we got there, i gave her a call and told her we made it and will stopping by once we check in to our hotel. (me and my dad made the trip) and once the kids were up (2 yr old Stella & 3 month old Luna) played with the kids and went to the park. Stella gave me two big bear hugs when i was up. she's def coming around with me and she'll play with her Auntie Adri (that's what she calls me now lol) she's not afraid of me. it was just she doesn't get to see me a whole lot, she was warming up to me. i did help with kids the best i could. i also helped with dinner. we did a lot of chit chatting and catching up. we had to whisper quite a bit, as the girls were sleeping. i was over there Saturday afternoon well into the evening and Sunday afternoon before leaving to back to WI and opening baptism gifts. And i let her know when we were back home and my dog was doing better. Iszy, our dog has Vertigo. but she is doing a lot better. not 100% yet, but doing a lot better. almost back to her Dizzy Iszy funny puppy ways. Dizzy Iszy is one of her nicknames cause of how funny she is and Izbiz is another one.

Thanks for the cool video. Marko, you really are a great comedian I must add that I have an awesome cat whose name is also Marko. Although he's rather more of a thriller guy. In Estonia where I live and also in most other European countries there are two very important things Americans should keep in mind when visiting or staying at someone's home. 1) Take your shoes off when coming in. We don't wear our shoes in the homes. 2) No putting your feet on the coffee table That would be considered rude and vulgar. But everything else mentioned in the video applies to us too.

In Chile as a guest, you MUST offer help with the cleaning, and even if your host tells you there's no need, ask again (why? cause we are weird i guess) otherwise we will think you are just lazy (even if you are not, also chilean moms will try to make you eat everything they can find and if you don't want to eat more, they'll act all hurt but it's just game (but also, maybe it isn't so EAT)

Another point would be don't talk about politics/religion unless invited to do so. Sometimes longtime friends might have different philosophies about the world, be sensitive and mindful about those conversations. I've hosted many, many people over the years and I wish it was cool to have a Good Guest cheat-sheet so I don't have to feel annoyed when I find out my guest is feral

Rather than cooking (other people using the kitchen for things other than snacks or breakfast stresses my mom out) my family always said we need three things from a guest: 1) what time they are arriving, 2) how long they are staying, and 3) what night they are taking us out for dinner. Obviously, this is with older/money-making adults but a rule of thumb I love

You mention that as a guest you should spend some time in the host's home so they don't feel like being used as a hotel. Do you feel this applies to couchsurfing as well, or just when staying with friends/people you know? Would a couchsurfing host be insulted if you only sleep there and spend the entire days as a tourist? Any couchsurfers or hosts, feel free to answer

Some awesome tips that I will definitely take into account I just started travelling Sri Lanka Solo and so far has been insane. Hopefully these tips can help it be a little less stressful. Maybe once I am a little more experienced I can come up with a similar video but for now I'll stick with the travel Vlogs

In Russia its expected to take your shoes off at the door. Most people have a ton of extra slippers for you to wear around the house and theyll offer them to you. Great advice on bringing a gift, it always feels awkward to come empty handed.

My mom's cousin had a step daughter and she had a medical appoitment in my city. She called asking if she could stay overnight to attend the appoitment the next morning. She stayed for 2 months. Now we hate each other

Hilarious vid guys Great information though. Id say, Im often too afraid to stay with hosts because I am scared Ill be imposing. With this advice, maybe Ill try it out more often and not be as worried about that
