Become a homestay host and introduce your family to different cultures

The team at globalyodel.com interviewed hosts David and Maiko. They explain their reasons for becoming a homestay host and share some of the memorable experiences with their first Homestay.com guest Vickie from Texas.

Why did you become a Homestay host?

We are a growing family and we want to introduce our children to different cultures from around the world. We love meeting new people and we wanted to welcome people into our family.

Tell us about your experience hosting your first Homestay guest

It was great having Vickie stay with us. It gave us an opportunity to show off Victoria and learn more about Houston. Vickie has become part of the family over the last two weeks. It was an absolute pleasure sharing our house with her.

Do you have any advice for people interested in being a Homestay host?

Welcome your guest into your family. It is great to get to know someone new and see how quickly they can become family.

Tell us something you learned from your guest:

We learned lots about the similarities between Victoria and Houston. We look forward to visiting Vickie and getting to explore her city.

What was your most memorable shared experience

I was very surprised to see how my son took to Vickie. He is 20 months old and learned her name, running around the house saying “Vickie Vickie”. She was out when I got home from work and he came to me and said “Vickie car bye bye”. I know he is really going to miss having her around.
