^^^^^
Every single one of our guests has never hosted and most have no plans to reciprocate once they get back home for various reasons. Seems to me that most members are either a host or a guest on WS. In our case, we have only hosted and have never been a guest at another WS home. As spinnaker said, if it makes you self-conscious, you can help in other ways to return the favor.

My Ireland trip is still in the idea stage, but could be realized within the next five years. It will be great to meet you and talk of our TransAm adventures!
