Hi there,
Great to hear from you, exiting times for you as a new host.
Making your guests feel they belong for me is the most important part of hosting and leads to a great experience for both guests & hosts.
Its the simple acts of kindness that make guests feel they belong, things like a warm welcome from a host when a guest arrives, helping guests with getting around during their stay & always being a kind ear to guests.
Im sure you'll do just fine with your hosting its a great community of hosts & guests, its as much about making people feel they belong as it is making money for me.
