Wisdom, skills, discoveries. There are myriad things people love to share, from favourite authors to life lessons learned the hard way. It’s exciting and often leads to an exchange of ideas that is both thought-provoking and enlightening.
Some areas are more challenging. Take, for example, personal space. The very notion of sharing hearth and home is anathema for some, while others regularly – and happily – open their door to visits from friends and family. The sentiment applies equally in reverse. An invitation to spend the night at a friend’s house might prompt an inner dialogue of ‘that’ll be a real treat, let’s set a date’ or ‘oh dear, how on earth do I get out of this?’ depending on where you sit on the stopovers scale.
