How to Behave as a Guest so You Actually get Invited Back

I’ve travelled quite a bit and have also lived in many MANY communities. Backpacking, courchsurfing, dormlife, shared housing situations, international host family exchanges, hostel living, farm-life has given me a lot of experience in this area. What I’m offering for is kind of a beginner’s guide, a “How to for Dummies”, a How to be a Guest 101. I’ve moved to share this because as I travel around I am still surprised to meet others who haven’t learned these basics. Granted, there are going to be personal and cultural differences for what is considered considerate, but these have all proven positive in my varied situations.
