Hi there, and welcome! I'm so very glad you're here.

I created Good Guest because exploring new places and learning about different ways of being is one of my greatest joys. Many of my happiest, most meaningful moments have happened in the homelands of others—and that has made me think deeply about how I show up in places that aren’t my own.

This project is my way of creating a little corner of the internet where we can learn how to travel more mindfully, together. A space that offers cultural guidance, practical tools, and small confidence boosts to help you feel more prepared, wherever your next adventure takes you.

It’s not about being perfect—it’s rarely elegant—but it’s always about trying. Trying to connect. Trying to communicate respect. Trying to meet the world with curiosity.

Everything shared here comes from a place of learning, not authority. Culture is layered and people are unique. There’s no single "right" way to behave everywhere, every time. But I believe being willing to learn, adapt, and engage thoughtfully is a beautiful place to start.

If something you found here helped you—or if it didn’t quite hit the mark—please let us know.

Let’s keep learning from each other.
