• Regularly communicate via e-mail and, closer to your departure date, confirm your arrival time via phone directly.
• Obtain the maximum of information: the family name of neighbours, the address of a coffee shop, for example, where you could meet each other shall you have difficulties finding your way...
• Research precise directions to reach your host's home, using sites such as:

• The information above constitutes an informal agreement between members and is designed to set a common set of expectations for connecting members. On the other hand, if you wish, nothing prevents you from collecting your guests at the airport or from making them visit your region. If you agree, they can also stay several nights. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with your guests.
• Also think about alternating different types of accommodations: one night in a beautiful hotel, (the other at friends') and the other at a HomeandCoffee member's home.
• You could also decide to go and eat in a good restaurant recommended by your host, or stay with your host's family for friendly introduction over dinner.

WHAT ABOUT INSURANCES?

We recommend that you contact your insurance company and / or review your personal insurance policy to understand your coverage and potential liabilities in each foreign country you will be visiting.

LAST ADVICES BEFORE DEPARTURE:

• Talk to your hosts if you have time obligations (soon or late times, ...) so that they can organize themselves.
• Call to confirm your arrival.
