| Well, I have never traveled this way because I am not a kind of person who likes to meet people in this way. Maybe staying at a host family is cheaper, but it certainly restricts you the freedom you would have at a hotel. I had some offers to stay at a host family, but not in Chile, and I refused because I would all the time have the impression that I owe something to them and that I should be grateful to them for giving me a place to sleep and daily meals although I would pay for that. Besides, I would have to talk to them about the things that might not be interesting to me; otherwise, I would be qualified as impolite. You should buy some small present with a symbolic function. |
