Guys, you are so funny. I chose your channel for my master dissertation research. I’m making notes for my study but I’m having fun looking your content too. Good Job!! <3
This video had me rolling on the floor! Such a great way of explaining this, I love it!
I love your videos! Vagabrothers, thank you for inspiring us small youtubers!
Love Marco’s new look! Great video as always!
LOVE this video! We have thought about making our townhouse an airbnb when we are on our travels. I might have to have this playing on the TV when the guests arrive haha!
Hahaha that’s hilarious. Required viewing before their stay haha
My suggestion: Airbnb whole place to yourself haha x
I feel too stressed being in other people’s space 😬
ROLAND HAMILTON Oh absolutely, you just don’t trash anyone’s stuff, that’s just being a good person. My comment was more aimed at being in other people’s space. I loath to get in anyone’s way or inconvenience others in the slightest so I prefer to have my own accomodation, even if it comes at a higher cost.
You still should have good cleaning etiquette because they’re only renting the space they don’t own it. So it’s still messed up to trash a place just because you’re paying for the entire property short or long-term.
In Russia its expected to take your shoes off at the door. Most people have a ton of extra slippers for you to wear around the house and they’ll offer them to you. Great advice on bringing a gift, it always feels awkward to come empty handed.
Definitely don’t come empty handed haha. Thanks for watching and sharing your culture
Your timing is impeccable! I’m getting ready for a trip where I’ll be staying with my friend. Will definitely keep your tips in mind, thanks!
Amazing!! That’s great to hear
Excellent video! Cooking, cleaning and other chores are always a nice thing to do. Definitely bring a small gift for your host.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
More do’s and don’t video please! Maybe you guys could do one on Hotels!
If it’s a hotel room you can walk naked in your room hahaha but yeah some hotels have rules when you get out of your room
Sounds good!!
German proverb:
It’s the innkeeper’s role to make the guest feel at home, it’s the guest’s role to remember they are not.
@lohphat Aah jetzt check ichs, “German proverb” war an der Stelle etwas verwirrend.
@cmntr Es war auch auf English gewschrieben als “It is the Inkeepers responsibility to make the guest feel at home, and the guest’s responsibility to remember they are not.” Also “role” und “responsibility” waren ermisched.
Vielleicheicht ist es kein Sprichtwort aber nur im einegen Gasthaeusern stattgefunden.
@lohphat Wie heißt das Sprichwort? Ich kenne es nicht und habe es auf die Schnelle auch nicht gefunden.
@cmntr Ich habe so ein Schild in ein paar Gasthaeusern in Deutschland gesehen.
What is that proverb in German? I have never heard of it, and I am from Germany. Thank you!
This is a great topic that you discussed. As a newbie in traveling, I should know these stuff. Thank you, guys!
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the cool video. Marko, you really are a great comedian! I must add that I have an awesome cat whose name is also Marko. Although he’s rather more of a thriller guy. In Estonia where I live and also in most other European countries there are two very important things Americans should keep in mind when visiting or staying at someone’s home. 1) Take your shoes off when coming in. We don’t wear our shoes in the homes. 2) No putting your feet on the coffee table! That would be considered rude and vulgar. But everything else mentioned in the video applies to us too. 😊
Thanks for sharing your culture 🙂
Hilarious vid guys! Great information though. I’d say, I’m often too afraid to stay with hosts because I am scared I’ll be imposing. With this advice, maybe I’ll try it out more often and not be as worried about that!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow ! I’m really impressed . As a long time surfer host I think that these points are on pointe . You encapsulated a lot of the major emotional and relationship issues in a sensitive and insightful manner. I also loved the way that u combined a security feature ( closed ) with an open mentality ( couchsurfing) keep doing what u do guys – love u ❤️
Thank you!!
I think it’s great that you’re explaining to travelers the do’s and dont’s, that way travelling can be a much more pleasure experience for everyone!
Totally!! Thanks for watching
Marko’s acting is so hilarious 😂
He’s acting? Hmm…
🤣🤣
👏🏼👏🏼
Mi abuelo de Bilbao decía que cuando te invitaban a una casa había que llamar a la puerta con el pie. Tardé en entenderlo pero es esencial. Significa que tus manos deben estar ocupadas con regalos y tendrás que usar el pie 😉 Me muero de la risa con Marko haciendo el papel de invitado desastre! Un abrazo fuerte, chicos!
Gracias Rosa!!
Some awesome tips that I will definitely take into account! I just started travelling Sri Lanka Solo and so far has been insane. Hopefully these tips can help it be a little less stressful. Maybe once I am a little more experienced I can come up with a similar video but for now I’ll stick with the travel Vlogs!
🤙🏼
Great vid as always! Looking healthy and happy my bros, hope you’re enjoying your 2019 so far. I’ve still got Croatia (Split), Riviera Maya, Marseille, and Scotland (Isle of Skye) to go!
<3
Thank you!!
