>>LAUREN VERNO: SO AMERICANS WHO HAVE BEEN FULLY VACCINATED FOR COVID-19 WILL BE ALLOWED TO
HAVE A EUROPEAN VACATION THIS
SUMMER, HOW COOL IS THAT THE
PRESIDENT OF EUROPEAN
COMMISSION SAYS
VACCINATED AMERICANS CAN TRAVEL
TO AND WITHIN THE
EUROPEAN UNION, HOWEVER, NO
SPECIFIC TIMELINE WAS WHEN
EXACTLY TOURS TRAVEL MIGHT OPEN
UP.
TIME COMES IT’S OF COURSE
IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT
TRAVEL AT IT MIGHT BEEN A WHILE
THAT SOME OF US HAVE DONE ANY
OF THIS TRAVELING SO JOINING US
THIS MORNING. SHARON SCHWEITZER
AND INTERNATIONAL ETIQUETTE IN
CULTURE EXPERT TO TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THESE LATEST ETIQUETTE TIPS WHEN TRAVELING OR JUST YOU
KNOW BEING
SOMEONE’S GUEST A LOT OF US
HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO THIS
GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US.
>> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR
HAVING ME AS
A GUEST.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YEAH, FIRST OFF
LET’S START WITH WHAT IS YOUR
NUMBER ONE GUEST ROLE WHEN YOU
SHOP TO SOMEONE’S HOME. WHAT IS
YOUR NUMBER ONE RULE TO LIVE
BY.
PLAN AHEAD TO
AVOID ANY AWKWARD AND MAKE SURE
THAT YOU
HAVE DISCUSSED WHAT ARE THE
HOSTS EXPECTATIONS. STU THEY
WANT YOU TO HAVE
CONTACTLESS GREETINGS. DO THEY
WANT YOU TO BRING CERTAIN
THINGS WITH PLAN
TO HAVE ALL OF THAT DISCUSSED
IN ADVANCE SO THERE ARE NO
SURPRISES. THAT’S ACTUALLY A
REALLY GOOD IDEA DO YOU WANT US
TO WEAR
A MASK. ASKED WHEN WE’RE OVER
YOU KNOW DO YOU WANT THE KIDS
TO WEAR A MASK. THESE ARE ALL
GREAT IDEAS. WHAT IF YOU’RE
TRAVELING ON A PLANE AND SAY
GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY RIGHT
NOW.
>> MANY OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU
NEED TO DO IS MAKE SURE YOU
READ THE
COUNTRY GUIDELINES MAKE SURE
THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR
EXPECTATIONS ARE DO YOU NEED TO
TAKE A COVID TEST BEFORE YOU ARRIVE YOU NEED TO HAVE A VACCINE PASSPORT YOU NEED TO
BRING A COPY OF YOUR. PROOF
OF VACCINATION WHAT ARE THE
REQUIREMENTS ARE YOU GOING TO
NEED TO QUARANTINE WHEN YOU
ARRIVE FOR HOW MANY DAYS IS IT
3 DAYS IS THAT
14 DAYS. EACH COUNTRY HAS ITS
OWN REQUIREMENTS AND YOU’RE
GOING TO WANT TO KNOW THOSE FOR
YOU GET ON THAT AIRPLANE.
>>EMILY BOYER: HOSTS AND
HOSTESSES GIFTS STILL THING.
>> OH YES
ABSOLUTELY AND IT DEPENDS ON
THE COUNTRY AND IT DEPENDS ON
YOUR HOST OR HOSTESS.
IT’S A REALLY GOOD IDEA TO
BRING THIS TACKLE ON
SMALL ITEMS THAT YOU CAN SHARE
WITH YOUR HOST
OR HOSTESS AS A THANK YOU AND
PACK EXTRA NO STATE YOU CAN
HAND RIGHT ON
THE SPOT. AND LEAVE AS A THANK
YOU AND THEN OF COURSE YOU WANT
TO DO THAT YOU RETURN HOW
THIS WELL.
>>EMILY BOYER: AND WHEN YOU
LEAVE SOMEONE’S HOME, SO
IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE YOU
CLEAN UP, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING
EXTRA TO BE DOING ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT COMES TO YOU KNOW
COVID.
>> YES YOU WANT TO PACK
EXTRA MASKS THE DISPOSABLE KIND
YOU WANT TO PACK EXTRA HAND
SANITIZER AND IT’S A GOOD IDEA
TO TAKE THE JAIL AS OPPOSED TO
THE SPRAY, SOMETIMES HAVING
YOUR SPRING. IT MAY IRRITATE
SOMEONE WHO HAS ASTHMA OR SOME
KIND OF A
RESPIRATORY CONDITION. SO THE
OTHER THING YOU CAN DO IS MAKE
SURE THAT YOU USE WHATEVER
THE HOSTESS PLACED OUT THAT IS
A DEFINITE SILENT
SIGNAL OR YOU KNOW A LITTLE
SUGGESTION FOR YOU AS A GUEST
THAT THEY WANT YOU TO USE THESE
MAKE SURE YOU
USE THAT.
USE THAT. >>LAUREN VERNO: YOU KNOW NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE TRIPS TO GO
STRAIGHT TO EUROPE RIGHT NOW
TOMORROW, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE PLANS, YOU KNOW MAYBE TO
SEE FRIENDS OR FAMILY FOR THE
FIRST TIME. WHAT IS YOUR
FAVORITE GIFT TO BRING TO
SOMEONE’S HOME.
MY FAVORITE GIFT TO BRING TO
PEOPLE’S HEALTH AND IS
SOMETHING THAT IS VERY PERSONAL
TO THEM. SO IF I KNOW
THAT NIGHT.
NEITHER ARE MY FAMILY MEMBER
LOVES DETAILS OR KITCHEN TELLS
BECAUSE THEY BAKE AND COOK A
LOT I’M GOING TO BRING MATT
IF I KNOW THAT MY BROTHER IS
CONSTANTLY GOING TO THE
HARDWARE STORE I’M GOING TO
BRING A GIFT CARD THERE BECAUSE
I KNOW HE’S CONSTANTLY GOING
AND WORKING ON
THE HOUSE. SO EVERYTHING I
BRING IS GOING TO BE VERY
PERSONALIZED FOR THAT HOST
AND THAT’S WHAT I’M GOING TO
BRING TO SHARE WITH THEM SO
IT’S GOING TO VARY DEPENDING ON
HERS. AND A GOOD BOTTLE OF WINE
NEVER HURT EITHER.
NO IT DOESN’T AS LONG AS THAT
PERSON DRINKS ALCOHOL I HAVE
SOME FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES WHO
DO NOT DRINK
ALCOHOL YET. MY PARENTS ALSO
THEY SAY JUST BRING US SOME
CANDY MY AND MY STEPDAD IS
ACTUALLY A TWINKIES AND HOSTESS
FAN.
>>LAUREN VERNO: SO I JUST BRING
BIG BOXES OF HOSTESS AND HE’S
VERY HAPPY VERY
HAPPY ABOUT. I IMAGINE HE LOVES
IT WHEN YOU SHOW UP AT HIS
STORE
ON ONE HUNTER IS THAT ALL RIGHT
KATHERINE, THANK YOU SO MUCH
