Description
Greenheart Travel's Independent Homestay Program focuses exclusively on the short-term homestay experience. Participants gain special insight into the host country's society through experiencing daily life, customs, and values.
Welcoming volunteer host families provide room and board and friendship for 1 - 4 weeks. Participants will be received as a member of the family and will be involved in the daily activities of that family. Participants will also have opportunities to go off and explore the host community independently.
Highlights
Complete cultural immersion through the homestay experience. Great opportunity to practice conversational skills!
