host profile [Dec 08, 2009]:
-> davidYou need to tell people about your panic attacks & being Claustrophobia so you don't waste their time making arrangments for you to stay for an extended period.
Being upfront & HONEST saves a lot of hard feelings & allows hosts to select the best person for their homes.
David arrived & was here less than 18 hours after saying he would stay 3 months. We turned down others to allow him to stay that long.
He had to fly back to England because he had a panic attack & was Claustrophobic. Don't know how he managed to fly if he's that ill.
