Being away from home is an experience that would require a lot of daring and self-confidence. To stay away from the people who are near to your heart is already a very heavy feeling that weight down a guest thus being a host we should be able to uplift that heavy feeling to help the traveler. That feeling if "home sick" is usually caused by failure to make your guest to feel at home. A person missed home simply because he did not find the homey atmosphere in that place where he is staying. How can we lighten up a heavy heart? Let the person feel at home.
He will never missed home if he will find same atmosphere of a home in the place where he is staying. Give him a warm welcome and never allow that he will be out of place in the conversations. But of course as always first impression lasts. If this is the case then the guest should feel that he is very much welcome as soon as he enters that house. What things could we do to give an impression that he is welcome?
A simple yet beautiful flower arrangement at the night table in his room is a very grand welcome for a traveler. Something that would remind him of his family, his mother and home. In some hotels they have this welcome music. They set up a sensor that would sense when somebody is at the door and opens the light then the music will start to play to welcome the guest. But since our houses are not hotel and in fact it should not be like one or else it wouldn't be home, a simple hand made card at the bed of the guests is a big plus to the clean and fresh room that he had and it would be enough for your guest to realize that he is really welcome.
