The greatest gift is your hospitality. By opening up your home, you provide your guest with a safe and pleasant place to stay. Discuss with your guest how and with what you can assist them. This varies from person to person. While one guest might be very independent and can navigate their way well in the Netherlands, another might be quite anxious, and it would be nice if you could help them feel at home. A listening ear, providing a warm and homely environment, doing activities together like shopping or eating, experiencing the everyday normal life… all of these things can be helpful.
