What I Can Share with Hosts

If it's not already expected, my hosts can expect me to clean up after myself and contribute to the house by participating in sweeping the floors, share in preparation of community meals, and helping with garden maintenance.
I am generally a generous giver when it comes to keeping a home in good condition.
