LIVING WITH A LOCAL FAMILY

A home, and a chance to connect.

Homestay brings you into the rhythm of a local household. You have a private room, with common areas shared with your hosts. Breakfast and dinner are part of the stay.

Homes may be simpler and more rustic than you are used to. An open mind and a willingness to join everyday conversations can make this a rewarding part of your experience.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Your hosts

NSI interviews and visits participating families as part of selecting homes for students.
