Misc: How to be a Gracious Guest at Someone’s Home
by FrEiBeRgS2002 on Aug.15, 2009, under Misc
- Pick up after yourselves. Don’t leave your belongings all over the place.
- Make sure your hosts have time to themselves. It’s exhausting to have people around all the time, and we need to take care of day-to-day business.
- Don’t assume your hosts can abandon their daily schedule to accommodate you. Plan your arrival and departure with them ahead of time.
- Contribute to the cost of groceries. Don’t complain if your hosts use products you wouldn’t. If you want something special, buy it yourself.
- Take your hosts out to dinner at least once — and pay.
- If you expect your hosts to accompany you to tourist sites, offer to pay at least part of their admission. Remember, they have probably been to these sites dozens of times.
- Consider purchasing a small gift like a bottle of wine to say “thank you.”
- If you don’t like these “extras,” stay at a hotel.
