Yes, always carry travel insurance when traveling internationally. Sofahop's community is trustworthy, but travel insurance covers the things that are nobody's fault: medical emergencies, flight cancellations, lost luggage. It's a separate issue from the accommodation platform.

All Sofahop members must be 18 or older. There are no upper age limits β the community welcomes hosts and travelers of all ages. Some of the best hosts on the platform are retired travelers who have both time and stories to share.
A small gift from your home country is a well-established tradition in hospitality exchange communities β nothing expensive, just something that says something about where you're from. Food, drink, or a small cultural item all work well. It's not required, but it's almost always appreciated.
