Homestay: Live With a Family and Learn About Culture, Life, and Food in Another Country First Hand

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

A homestay is when one person from one country stays with a family in another country. Typically, everything is taken care of for the home stayer. That includes three meals a day, washing of clothing, and room cleaning. The home-stayer has a first hand opportunity to learn about the life and culture in the country where he or she is staying. There is also the opportunity to learn a new language and to help your new family members to learn about your language. You can choose home stays located in the middle of Bangkok or in the green countryside of a village in rural China. The choice is yours and the choices worldwide are infinite.

As a part of your new family, it is likely that you will be invited to share in holiday events unique to that culture and that your new family will provide you with personalized tours of the city, countryside, cultural and historical landmarks. Home stays are offered for various lengths of time, among them are three month, six month, and one year home stay opportunities. With a little research a person interested in a home stay can find locations to stay at around the world including rain forest home-stays in Costa Rica. Friendships made with families during a home stay can last a lifetime.
